Introduction

The name “Ephesians 5:11” was given to this ministry by myself based off of the scripture itself and is not in direct relation with http://www.ephesians5-11.org/which focuses primarily on masonry. The ministry of “Ephesians 5:11” describes any ministry ministering the message of Truth concerning cults, masonry,Satanists groups, and its relative forms; my ministry focuses merely on partic ular Greek letter organizations.

The Purpose of the Ministry of Ephesians 5:11 is noted in 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19, “Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God wasin Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”

The Goal is, of course, noted in Ephesians 5:11, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” This was the commandm ent given to myself upon receiving my answer from God after seeking Him for approval for membership into one of the organizations of theNational Pan-Hellenic Council. This scripture, in conjunction with 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (primarily verses 17 and 18), bear the goal of this ministry; that those who claim Jesus Chr ist as Lord and Savior and the Faith of Christianity, will pay obedience to the call and commandment of God our Perfect Father (2 Timothy 2:19). 2 Timothy 2:19, “Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” From the Ministry of “Ephesians 5:11”

BGLO RITUALS vs. THE HOLY BIBLE

“Similarly, the “Greek” aspirant covets a certain fraternal group and longs to be in that circle ofinfluence. All the while, neither seems to realize the true depths of the organization’s ties to theunderworld.” (Greek -Letter Organizations: Offspring of Abomination, page 8, Minister GailGray, former AKA)

Each organization of the nine (9) historically Black Greek Letter Organizations (of theNPHC) are represented in this file; they are in order of their founding starting with thesororities first then the fraternities (other orga nizations follow). The statements italicizedare from the organization’s ritual and the notes following (not italicized) are commentsgiven from the Holy Spirit. I pray that the heart of God will touch your spirit; beprayerful also.

ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC.

Because our rituals represent the spiritual foundation of the Sorority, they should be revered andheld in the highest esteem. They must (in the physical sense) be protected by the chapter.

For so long I’ve seen that this statement was not right, however, I just couldn’t explain it andhave had to continuously pray, but until I received my answer I had moved on to complete threeother organization’s rituals before coming back to this part of the AKA ritual, also havingcompleted 95% of this organization’s section of this file. In the dictionary, the word ‘should ’ isnoted as “1) Used to express obligation or duty. 2) Used to express probability or expectation. 3)Used to express conditionality or contingency. 4) Used to moderate the directness or bluntnessof a statement. ((The American Heritage College Dictionary, Houghton Mifflin, Fourth Edition,page 1284). The last part of that definition definitely comes against the common response “therituals aren’t that serious, a lot of it is just symbolism.” This part of the Introduction is notspeaking of anything symbolic and where it is noted as ‘representation’, it makes it plain “..ourrituals represent the spiritual foundation of the Sorority.” But we must be slow to speak becausethat is also a confession that there is a spiritual foundation, which that notation alone does notautomatically denote something positive.

I sincerely dedicate my time and talent to the growth and development of the program of AlphaKappa Alpha Sorority. This I promise in deed and truth.

2It is different to say “I will use my time and talent for the growth and development of AKA” thanit is to say that “I sincerely ….dedicate …my time and talent….” We must first realize that if weare not already dedicated to the Great COmmission (not a typo) of Jesus Christ, yet we arededicated to the growth of any other entity, then that alone serves as our idolatry. The GreatCommission of Jesus Christ was the very last thing Jesus commanded before ascending intoheaven and shamefully, as Christians, it is also the very last thing we teach or commit to.

Here are some definitions of the word “dedicate”: 1) To set apart for a deity or for religiouspurposes; consecrate. 2) To set apart for special use. 3) To commit (oneself) to a particular courseof thought or action. (The American Heritage College Dictionary, Houghton Mifflin, FourthEdition, page 369) After noting this, I see it as important to address prospective responses. Onewould probably respond with the heart and mind of believing that because of the many greatworks done within their organization coupled with the statement “_______Sorority / Fraternitywas founded upon Christian principles” then this means that such organizations are pleasing Godand, after what I just spoke on, they may even be contributing to fulfilling the Great Commission.Two comments: 1) there is a difference between mere good works and Godly works….. 2) theGreat Commission deals with winning souls for the Kingdom of God. Three questions: Whenyou do your good works, first, whose name is it under? And second, do the people say inresponse, “gosh, I want to be a Christian” or do they say “ooooh, I can’t wait to be an AKA!”?With that scenario introduced, for those of you who have read your organization’s ritual before,from memory of the contents of your ritual, which of these two responses do you say is more ofthe purpose of your organization’s deeds? (Those last three questions go together very well; theyhave a lot in common. Please pray about it).

As believers, some of us often manipulate the Word of God (which is not good), this means toalter the meaning for one’s own advantage (first note that I used the term ‘believers’ and not theterm ‘Christians’. Believer-believes in God, His Son, and Testimony and acknowledges thesethings. Christian- not only believes but is a follower of Christ, doer of His Word, imitator of hisMaster, strives for holiness and a godly lifestyle). We often make excuses for things that areactually noted in the Word of God as wrong, and we furthermore may not know that such wrongthing is told to us by the Bible because we may not read as much as we should and this even moreso because our heart’s desires are not holy (Please read Jeremiah 17:9 before responding to that.That was not a negative personal opinion of mine—it’s scripture). All of this to say that in ourmany excuses we’ve come against the necessity to fully commit to Christ and His Ministry (theGreat Commission). I’d like you, the reader, to ponder for a moment on this: when you came tothe altar to accept Christ, when you came back to God to recommit, how willing were you to saythis very same thing (in the AKA ritual) to God concerning His will? Whatever we willingly doand profess to and for others, and hesitate to give the same, more, or exclusive commitment toGod, this is idolatry; putting anything or anyone before God. So, reflecting on the degree above(in the ritual); are we giving ‘man’ more than we are giving God?

To our Founders, we bow (candidates bow their heads).

3I’d first, respectfully, request that the Christian AKA ask herself “what is the justification forbowing my head to the deceased founders?” With anything that we take part of as Christians weneed to heed the Word of God (“test the spirits”). How, really, does God view this act of“Devotion and Promise”? Really…... Imagine…. (SELAH; stop and meditate).

(continuing from point above): Especially if we don’t see it necessary to be totally devoted toGod. This is not to imply that Christian members of Greek letter organizations do not see itnecessary to be “totally devoted to God.” However, I made that statement in the first sentenceabove, following the paragraph above, because I’ve witnessed, in conversation, a young ladyattempting to defend her organization after we noted it wrong that the organizations embracedunequal yokes. In paraphrasing, she said, “I don’t have to be in a Christian organization” “all thatI do doesn’t have to center around what I believe” Well actually, and scripturally, you do have tobe in a Christian organization…..if there’s covenants involved! And since when doesn’t aChristian’s life, actions, or thoughts have to center around Christ? Let’s now take a look at theScriptures: 1 Corinthians 10:31, “Therefore, whether you eat or drink , or WHATEVER YOUDO, do all to the glory of God.” I understand this may seem out of context but that very partstands on its own, especially because we must take in every word, every phrase, every sentence,darling, every syllable as significant to our successful walk with the Father! The word“whatever” shows that it is more than the topic of foods consumed. Now, Colossians 3:17, “AndWHATEVER YOU DO in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks toGod the Father through Him.”

Let’s look at this again: this section of this INITIATION RITUAL (an Order….in order to beinitiated) is titled Devotion and Promise….this must come before you can be admitted(order…..there’s no way around it). You must not only express your devotion and promise, but byway of…to the extent of…bowing your heads. Definitions of the word “devote”: “1. To give orapply (one’s time, attention, or self) to an activity, cause, or person. 2. To set apart for a purposeor use. 3. To set apart by or as if by a vow or solemn act; consecrate. This is interesting. WhenGod speaks of us, as Christ-disciples, being “sanctified” it means to be “set apart” (for God’spurpose and use), more specifically, set apart from the world. Sanctification, in the Bible, is usedfaithfully and EXCLUSIVELY for the Glory of God through the transforming power of His HolySpirit. And, as respectful as I can note this, I repeat, God wills to use us as sanctified for HISGlory, not man’s (although we minister to each other, it is for the glory of God), not even for thename of a “great”, “good”, or “Godly” organization. I am believing that the Christian readers arequite attentive to this document, as Christians aspiring to please God and as willful members ofyour organization. So as we continue, the Christians in particular are implored to evaluatethemselves, their initiation and ritualistic experiences, and their walk with God according to HisWord. Here’s our first evaluation of this section of the AKA Ritual: Are any of the followingaspects of the initiation ritual a reflection of any of the definitions noted above? The name of theorder (Devotion and Promise), the words you were expected to speak, and the act you wereexpected to perform.

Our purpose seal; I will, for honor of thy name, pass on the torch, pass on the flame.

4In the past, as I was still immature in this ministry, rather than directing this “called out message”to Christian members who can feel the Holy Spirit when one of God’s vessels speaks to them, Ihave blatantly stated to Greeks as a whole that the works they do are for their organization’sname, to lift up their organization, and done in the organization’s name. As a result, until this day,all Greeks have attempted to defend their organization against the claim that the works they doare in the name of their organization, this also includes Christian members.

However, you may notice that, for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in particular, as well as othersororities, these types of statements are even on chapter, regional, and the national website: “Inthe name of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc……” Similar statements will be seen as you readon. As I look back over this file to allow the Holy Spirit to edit anything that “I” typed, a fewthings must be noted; first that the word “thy” is in reference to the organization, Alpha KappaAlpha. Second, the working for the organization’s benefit is blatant: “OUR PURPOSE”, and itsays, “Our purpose SEAL; I will, FOR HONOR OF THY NAME…..” Remember, this is theritual for initiation into the organization. All questions asked are directed to the candidatesconcerning their prospective relationship to the organization, and these are the words that thecandidates must speak. This is one of the first admittance to the purpose of the organization’sworks.

“I show my submission by kneeling.” (Candidates kneel a few minutes. Nothing but silenceprevails.)

Basileus: Candidates, arise.

The pilot and sorors lead the candidates in a line in a winding way. The sponsor of each candidate should be at her side. The Basileus repeats this phrase seven times: “Life is a winding maze, and intricate labyrinth through which we must wander all our days.” Candidates are then taken to the ante -room after the seventh intonation.

In the ante-room:

Pilot: Candidates, are you willing to enter deeper into the mysteries of our organization? If so, state after me. “I am.”

To be honest, though sadly, I don’t think many have realized that the winding maze is thespiritual part where the demonic force really starts to take over; the Basileus repeats a phraseseven times. The word “labyrinth” is found in the thesaurus as another word for “maze”……”through which we must wander all our days”. The word ‘wander’ is defined as “1. To moveabout without a definite destination or purpose. 2. To go by an indirect route or at no set pace;amble. 3. To proceed in an irregular course; meander. 4. To go astray. 5. To lose clarity orcoherence of thought or expression.” PRAISE GOD (for John 16:13 in life and in this study).

5I hadn’t noted this definition the first time I wrote in response to this section of the ritual.Because of Christ, we as Christians do not have to wander around confused “all our days” (truly,neither do those unsaved, they can come to Christ as well, the thing is that without Him they willwander blindly). Christian members, I know many of you frustratedly have said that your ritualsare symbolic and are not as seems, but I pray you realize that you can’t understand the ritualseither except that the organization reveal it to you or God Himself as He said He would in John16:13. Members are only given interpretations that the organization will for them to have, soremembering that all things are spiritual, unless God speaks we can’t believe that we knowbeyond a shadow of doubt the truest interpretation of anything. For your sake, beloved Sister inChrist, please heed this next part in response to this part of the ritual:

Proverbs 18:21 states that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love itwill eat its fruit.” Wandering, doubt, unsurity, emptiness, and such are all examples of spiritualdeath or spiritual blindness. These are results of being without God. You determine to be Hisdisciple, His Bride. Not only what you speak, but the things you accept from what other peoplespeak are what you will experience. In the spiritual realm, no spiritual forces, good or bad, mayhave any influence over you unless you give permission—verbally or by action. For example,when you accept God, the devil is resisted. When you willingly sin, you push God back, as Hecannot dwell in sinful temples (though with you, He can’t be in you until you repent). This degreeis titled: OBEDIENCE. The candidates state from their mouths “I SHOW MY SUBMISSION bykneeling” which is an act of reverence and obedience. To whatever is taking place at the moment,there has been a submission.

“Life is a winding maze, and intricate labyrinth through which we must wander all ourdays.” This is spoken concerning your life ; that it is a winding maze, an intricate labyrinth.These things are being spoken into existence and we believe the number seven to be the numberof completion (or manifestation). I know that the life of many Greeks is portrayed as happy andsuccessful, for some this may be, but you know how you feel at night when you’re out of thepublic’s eye. Words we speak, the things we accept from other people’s mouths, the things webelieve in our heart (Proverbs 23:7), and the actions we take all impact our lives. Can we agree onthis? Well, such things like this ritual has to do with the spiritual state of the members within.This is not about whether or not you are a Christian by faith, or whether or not you can or dopray. It has a lot more to do with your desire to grow in God. When God first called me into thisministry and I was praying one night, one thing He revealed to me was that these brothers andsisters are Christians (or at least believers who claim Christianity) and that is where His grief is!Allow me say this respectfully, what some Christian members are not realizing is that because ofthe heart rejecting ministries like these (Eph. 5:11) and the compromise and acceptance of theactivities within their organizations, there is a glass ceiling blocking the Christian’s growth inGod and spiritual peace—that glass ceiling is their affiliation which is, unrecognizingly, spiritual.

When spiritual darkness is accepted, through the acceptance of spiritual things wrapped in naturalmatters, then one is made subject to the following events. At this point in the ritual a demonicforce has come in and been accepted, all other parts of the in itiation will be “smooth”—no onewill have the power to think twice about the words that they’re speaking unless they are strong inthe LORD and the Holy Spirit gets a breakthrough in convicting them, but they still must resistand reject those powers and you can not do so by continuing in the ritual.

Well, I have just received the OES (Order of the Easter Star) Ritual, a women Masonic typeorganization, and lo and behold the similarities between the AKA and OES ritual. “One “Greek”fraternity brother expresses his casual attitude in this manner: “….Each of the four fraternities

6was founded by at least one man who was a member of the Freemasons….” (Greek LetterOrganizations: Offspring of Abomination, by Gail Gray, page 44) The same is believed to be truefor the sororities as well and you will see a quote in the Delta section that indirectly admits such.

“Along that line, there is a former church pastor who shamelessly admits that he is an Alpha manand a Mason. It’s obvious that he was one who preached on Sundays and fraternized at othertimes. This is a portion of his testimony: “First, it is a known fact that the majority of the founders of the BGLO’s were involved inwith the Masonic and Eastern Star organizations. I can say with certainty that there was sometype of relationship due to the similarity of several BGLO rituals, most specifically Alpha PhiAlpha and Omega Psi Phi, to the first three degrees of Masonry. In fact, I have known severalmembers of both Alpha and Omega who are Masons who remarked that they felt a sense of deja-vu when getting their Masonic degrees.” (Greek Letter Organizations: Offspring ofAbomination, by Gail Gray, page 53-54) I must note also that Alpha Kappa Alpha is noted as thesorority of the NPHC with the most similarities to the OES ritual.

Sister Gail replies in her book by saying, “….Furthermore, it wouldn’t be possible to experience“deja-vu” unless the initiation rituals were strikingly similar among the two Greek -letterorganizations and lodge through which these men were initiated.” (page 54)

Here’s the AKA / OES connection with the section noted above in AKA’s ritual from page 28(there are more which will be noted):

A. COND. –My friend, human life is a labyrinth through which we all wander blindly, and too often, alas, in ignorance. It is good to have a friend by our side and a friendly hand that can guide us with infallible certainty and safety through its mazes. (Order of the Easter Star, Initiation Ritual, page 87)

What’s interesting is that the AKAs who inserted this into their ritual must have found that part oftheir Masonic ritual experience to be quite impactful, as “a wise word” (or as I call it, a “cutestatement”) along with the deceiving notation following the claim about life; Meaning that thenotation that life is a maze that we wander blindly, is “cutely” justified as a sisterly impressionabout how and why we should have friends nearby and this “specializes” that aspect of the ritual.It is a spiritual deception that quickly blinds you of what was just said to you, by following it withsomething “positive”. I feel that this is why the AKAs found it special and necessary to make it apart of their initiation ritual—to encourage that sisterhood is a good and special reason to joinAKA, that part is “fine” but we overlook the deception of the spiritual forces. Read the abovepart of the OES Ritual again and check out the following statement!!!

W.P.—It is well…..You will now be conducted through the labyrinth of the Eastern Star…Sister Conductress, you will now remove the VEIL from the EYES of our newly adopted Sister. (Side note: The veil is removed and Bible taken from the hands of the Candidate). (Order of the Eastern Star, Initiation Ritual, page 93)

Basileus: “……It is not possible to know if Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority will provide sweetnessto the bitterness in your life---but you must believe that it will.

7 It is not promised that the path of life, often strewn with thorns, will be more smooth as a Soror of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority ---but you must believe that it will be.

The sorority is telling the candidates that they must believe that the sorority “will providesweetness to the bitterness” in their lives and that the path of life will be more smooth as a sororof “AKA”. These things are given by the results of the shed Blood of Jesus Christ (acceptance ofsalvation through His dying and resurrection), growth in Him and fellowship with His Body—other believers, and the Holy Spirit of God that brings peace and joy. As Christians, one shouldhave received or be seeking to receive the Holy Spirit of God who provides sweetness to thebitterness of life and truly makes the path of life more smooth as He reveals to you your purposein life and leads you by His direction to fulfill your calling. Matthew 6: 32, 33, “For after allthese things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added toyou.” Truly, it is understandable to expect for an organization or a fellowship of like-mindedindividuals to be a blessing to your social life, however, to speak as if it is a ‘must’ is as if itcarries weight of harsh [spiritual] consequences. When spiritual darkness enters into a process,you must be leary of what is to follow. Why would this statement be made? Based on Proverbs23:7, I say, if you believe that it will, then yes, it will…..

Your love can be faithful.

Sometimes, it’s not really

going to happen, unless you make yourself believe it.

8“Why would this statement be made?” Based on Proverbs 23:7, I say, if you believe that it will,then yes, it will, but if it is not the will of God then it will happen without the peace of God. Youever had fun sinning, but then felt no peace or felt shame or guilt in your spirit? Ever sinned andthings seemed fine but you just knew something was missing, you just knew you were empty?Examine yourself, and your whole experience.

The furthermore important problem is that because this organization is not a fellowship ofonly Christian women, while it is yet one of covenant, then one can not even consider orexpect (from God) it to be a blessing (from God)!

Pilot to candidates: Your faith and trust have brought you to this point. Do you wish toproceed further?

At the end of each degree a similar question is asked. At the end of the second degree on page 28of the Ritual, which is titled ‘Obedience’, the question was: “are you willing to enter deeper intothe mysteries of our organization?….” (That was after the statement about the maze). The pointof continuously asking these questions, whether members realize this or not (because one’ssubmission to these experiences spiritually blinds one in this area), is getting the candidates moreexcited about doing what they have wanted for so long and that is to become a member.Therefore, the candidates will quickly and desperately say “yes” to each part not necessarilygetting a chance, or taking the time, to really think and pray. See, the Bible tells us to usewisdom, seek counsel, and through earnestly seeking God we can have peace or accept Himgiving us a lack of peace—before getting on any particular path. James 1:19, “So then, mybeloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;….” Ecclesiastes5:2, “Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anythin g hastily before God.”Now, right before this degree was the second degree, obedience, where the maze had taken placeand I indicated that the demonic force had taken over and from that point the initiation would go“smoothly”; “no one will have the power to think twice about the words that they’re speakingunless they are strong in the LORD and the Holy Spirit gets a breakthrough in convictingthem,…”

I’d also like to note that this spiritual deception is not always blatant on the part of the members.The Bible says “we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness….”(paraphrased from Ephesians 6:12) and that the devil uses the unsaved and the spirituallyimmature (primarily those who do not sincerely seek a real and strong relationship with God) tohis advantage. So, when people walk in the desires of their flesh and not sacrifice those things tofollow after the Holy Spirit (LUKE 9:23), they become of use to the devil because they drown outthe voice of the Holy Spirit and strengthen their flesh because of the submission to the fleshabove the Spirit of God.

The pilot says, “your faith and trust have brought you to this point.” You have come to this pointbecause you have allowed yourself, through your desire to be a member, to have faith and trust in

9the positive public view of the organization, based on things like the statement of being foundedupon Christian principles, the good deeds, and the famous members. But the Bible says, beloved,to test spirits. This document is another opportunity. I really want to take this time to note thatpeople have asked me, “aren’t those rituals old?” implying that it doesn’t matter. You will see, asstated in the Delta’s ritual, that although there are ritual updates, many things such as traditions,symbols, and aspects of the rituals structure stays the same! So again, we test spirits. We try one’sspirit (person, organization, and church) by the Holy Spirit, and by His Word to see if theycorrespond or contradict. Works are good, and noted in the Bible, but the Bible also says thatfalse prophets will work miracles! Stay in prayer and be willing to yield to God’s command, asyou desire to please HIM.

Pilot to candidates: Repeat after me. “I am.”

Candidates: “I am.”

(Candidates kneel and take the following oaths):

I, (Name), do solemnly promise always to live up to the ideals of the organization, to stand byAlpha Kappa Alpha in every undertaking………I shall keep in my heart these words: “Set aguard over my mouth: keep watch over the door of my lips.”

“Always to live up to the ideals of the organization,…” Well, the first thing to consider is ‘whatare the ideals of the organization?’ It is wise to note that the ideas are not based on what you seebut the truth in what you see is rooted in what you don’t see; the motivation, and in this case, therituals and any spiritual foundation laid. Two things you will come to learn in all of the rituals ofthese particular organizations is that service is a key element, however, the rituals note that theservice is done for the uplifting and fame of the name of the organization. The next thing you willnote, as a spiritual issue, is that each organization is related to a Greek false deity. Those twopoints, head on, are issues to a Christian who desires to glorify God in respectful correspondenceto His Holy Word (1 Corinthians 10:31, Colossians 3:17, and Exodus 20:3-6—“before Him”implies sequence and presence).

Now let’s consider this, on the flip side, as a Christian. This portion of the ritual says to “alwayslive up to the ideals of the organization.” We’re going to go with the most prevalent idea verballystated: service, but we also know that rituals state to do these things (service) for the glory of the

10organization and in the name of the organization. This is an or the idea of the organization. So,this now brings us to a comparison of the ideas of ‘Christianity’. First, as a Christ-disciple, welive by the biblical standards of God’s Holy Word, and this includes service, as outlined in many“Greek” letter organization rituals. The ideas of Christ in God are love, service, unity, and soforth, “all to the glory of God…and in the name of the Lord Jesus” (1 Corinthians 10:31 andColossians 3:17). The work we do in the public’s eye is in the name of God for the glory ofGod—alone. The Scriptures say in 1 Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, besteadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor isnot in vain in the Lord.” So let’s review what we’ve covered so far: The AKA ritual says to“always live up to the ideas of the organization.” The work is done to keep a stable famous nameof the organization. The Holy Scriptures says to “always abound in the work of the Lord” Thework is done “all to the glory of God…and in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Refer to 1Corinthians 10:31 and Colossians 3:17).

Let’s understand what the work of the Lord is. It is first witnessing not only the love of God andsuch through service, but sharing the Gospel of Salvation through Christ and as we do this wealso show love and love through service. But the work of the Lord is preparing people for God’srighteous Kingdom. Your good works may show others their lack of good works, but thoseworks alone don’t make it plain and direct that “salvation is only through Christ Jesus.” The workof the Lord is extensive and direct in first sharing the Gospel with a heart of concern for people’ssalvation, with love and service toward them. But service alone is not “the work of the Lord.”These are what the disciples did and that’s what we all are commissioned to do. Are youcommitted to sharing the Gospel? To what extent? Jesus didn’t have a place to lay His head, Paulwas always on the road traveling to many nations, Peter preached fervently. No, it’s not all aboutpreaching. Disciples served food to those in need….in the name of Christ (Acts 6:1-7). My pointis that we know that no Christian can have two gods and yet none of us can say that we live fullyand successfully, with no problem, up to the ideals of the Holy Word of God; the Bible.Therefore, how can we take on (in vowing to) always living up to the ideals of an organization,especially if that organization’s ideals are not for the glory of God but rather just doing good foranother entity?

“To stand by Alpha Kappa Alpha in every undertaking…” A few years ago, on a popular ‘D9’yahoo group, the AKAs were asked if their organization requested that they praise and / orworship the organization or its founders and every Greek on the Yahoo Group defended them.We see in this oath that this is why they will lie to no end even if it’s coming against a ministrythat is witnessing to God’s children about the darkness of such organizations. We’ll see how or ifbeing in AKA puts you in a position to praise or worship the organization or its founders as weread on. (The above situation was noted to lead to a later point).

As we’re dealing with this topic at hand (such rituals vs. the Bible), in conjunction with idolatry,we have to compare our hearts and minds in relation to the organization and in relation to ourfaithfulness and worship to God. Before and because this oath is taken, one must ask oneself“am I willing to stand by God in every undertaking?” We also must be honest with ourselves sothat we may see the truth. We want to know truth in every case, even and especially when itconcerns ourselves, because we will be judged on those things and because we want our wordsand praise to be “for real”, sincere, in spirit and in truth and not just words. Proverbs 27:19 says,“As in water face reflects face, So a man’s heart reveals the man.” If we face the truth, good orbad, then we will come to know who we really are versus who we say we are and by that we willknow what needs to be done to truly live pleasing to God. In what ways would you stand byGod? What I’m trying to get to is, “are there any limits?” Because in the AKA oath you were

11requested to repeat “to stand by Alpha Kappa Alpha in every undertaking.” Whenever we cansay “yes” to someone or something and say “no” to God on the same issue that is called“idolatry” because it is putting another before Him. Would we agree that standing by God inevery undertaking is to stand for holiness and the standards of God’s Word in every undertaking(aspects of life)? So, I’m thinking now and I’d like you to take personal time to consider yourworks within your organization and the events that you agreed to host and partake of incomparison to holiness? Does God agree with “safe sex” “programs” being anything other thanmarriage? “Yes, but…” Does He have an alternative? Why should the people whom He has toldto “be holy for I am holy”? There’s more, but only you and God know your own experienceswithin. Consider.

Let us examine ourselves and see if we be of the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). In Isaiah 29:13 Godsays, “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, Buthave removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandmentof men,”

“Set a guard over my mouth: keep watch over the door of my lips.” Ahhh Fooey! No nice way tosay this. How dare anyone use the scriptures in vain? This scripture is not about keeping secretthe darkness of things ungodly. The scripture (Psalm 141:3) actually reads, “Set a guard, OLORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.” This is the same thing thatMuslims and Jehovah’s Witnesses have done with the Word of God (Bible); taken things out tofit what they believe and will to teach as truth. And it’s things like this that make the Christianmembers feel that their organizations are founded upon Christian principles, because the ritualscontain [distorted] scriptures. Possibly, this is why particular Greek letter organizations say thatthey were founded upon Christian principles, other than that they never note what their Christianprinciples are that they stand upon. However, AKA is not the only organization to change thescriptures and use them in vain , particularly to request secrecy and to direct the initiates incommitment to a form of worship and reverence which is not deliberately noted. It is possiblethat every time an AKA hears this scripture the true interpretation would be blocked by theremembrance of this oath and possibly strengthen a stronghold. However, what is interesting ishow this scripture fits into the situation that the Christian has not allowed her self to be in. TheBible tells us that the devil likes to make a mockery of the elect and servants of God. It is moreimportant that we seek God’s will and heart in everything rather than being committed to ourpersonal desires. Now, by distorting this scripture and requiring others to speak such, one shouldkeep this scripture in mind: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Beacceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.”—Psalm 19:14.

“…revere the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority……” “Revere” was found in the thesaurus as alsomeaning: admire, respect, look up to, hold in the highest regard, be in awe of, WORSHIP,venerate. Now, we reverence pastors by referring to them as “Reverend”, so as to honor them asa form of acknowledgment of their position and their work in the Kingdom of God. But evensome pastors don’t allow you to call them “reverend” and that is increasing as many grow inBiblical Christ-discipleship. However, it is only understood that those doing the will and work ofthe LORD and for the LORD be called such. When the word ‘reverend’ is used in regards topastors it is used to “hold in the highest regard” less than worship, which God has alreadyordained (praise meaning honor to be given) when He ordained them to their position (asleadership led of His Spirit to shepherd His sheep). So at this point, this is the fourth and last

12degree following Devotion and Promise as the first degree, Obedience second, Faith and Trustthird, and now Fidelity and Love. I’m sure many would like to say “well maybe this particularoath also has to do with honoring the organization, less than worship.” So, in examination of thatpossible sincere cla im, let’s review what has taken place up unto this point.

§ To be dedicated and set apart for AKA. Pages 25 and 26 in ritual, page 2 and 4 in file

§ That the “good deeds” done in AKA are for the glory and honor of AKA, and that is the sealed purpose state d and accepted. Page 26, 4

§ Obedience and submission to AKA (being submitted to AKA) shown through kneeling— for minutes in silence, this is not an act of low reverence (honor) but high reverence (worship). This is an approach [not highly or hardly adhered] to the Throne of God Almighty. Page 28, 5-7

§ Must believe in AKA to bring abundance and happiness to your life. Page 29, 7-8.

§ A pledge to secrecy, a pledge to live up to the ideas of the organization, a pledge to

defend the organization no matter what, and the point we’re at now, a pledge to love and revere the organization. Page 32, 10-12

All of the above are what is to be given to God. It may seem ‘okay’ to give these things to anorganization on behalf of showing commitment to the cause, however, if all we give to God is allwe give to another then we are choosing to serve two masters. These are all things that take placein a relationship with God, i.e., be dedicated to Him and set apart for His glory through faith anddeeds and expect and receive an abundant life, right? So, with this G/’god’ feel in theatmosphere, initiates are not simply honoring an organization for what they do. (Selah)Biblically, hen people were honored they were spoken highly of, now people clap or stand whenyou enter a room, etcetera, but you were /are not required to bow down. Even more-so the Biblesays to let another “praise” (not worship) you and not your own self (in pride), you furthermoredefinitely wouldn’t require or request people to verbally and actively worship you. So we havesurpassed mere reverence as in honor. Well, Christians, let’s think about this. Why would yourevere an organization?

“….and the potentialities which you have for the perpetuation of our sisterhood, and theadvancement of Alpha Kappa Alpha are a sacred trust to be honored in such a manner that whatAlpha Kappa Alpha is will be in each one of you.”

“Perpetuate” was found in the thesaurus as also meaning: be responsible for, effect, bring about,complete, enable, achieve. So far as having potentials for the advancement of AKA, Christiansare supposed to advance the kingdom of God while here on earth, bringing others into the Familyof God—that is the Sisterhood we are to perpetuate. As stated, or will be read below, there isnothing wrong with using your gifts within an organization or ministry, however, that would be

13for the purpose of the manifested success of the goal of an organization which is not to contradictthe Kingdom of God nor to offend His Persona.

The Brother Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy that we don’t let the affairs and goods of thislife distract us from our journey to heaven, which would first come as a distraction from therealization and understanding of spiritual warfare (Matthew 26:41). This he states in 2 Timothy2:4, “No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may pleasehim who enlisted him as a soldier.” My point for bringing this out is to note that joiningfellowships etcetera are not sinful but it is specifically what you join. You would find a littlemore in-depthly but briefly, in the ‘Walking In My Deliverance’ Pamphlet, that God has providedfor us, His children, all things that we are seeking in the world. Satan has presented hisalternatives to our flesh that we may be distracted from the true purpose of life and thereafter.Our fellowship is to be pure because our fellowship leads us to our counsel which the Bible tellsus not to receive from the ungodly (the very first Psalm). The work we do is to be for the glory ofGod and in doing this work [with others—in the Body] we there find our friendship andfellowship (1 Corinthians 15:33). The tricky part, to some, which God has not intended but thisyet comes from lack of teaching and learning, is that the work of the LORD is not simplyministering through witnessing who Christ is while out and about on the streets. Ministry that weare to do is noted especially in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) , the Book of the Acts ofthe Apostles (Acts), and so on. Yet, we are to do even those things that seem as “mere goodworks” such as, giving to the homele ss [using discernment] (Luke 16:19-31, Proverbs 28:27),visiting the sick and imprisoned (Matthew 25:31-40), pleading for the needy (Proverbs 31:8,9),visiting orphans and widows (James 1:27), and more. So, it’s not that you are being told that youcan only go and preach the ‘Good News’ of Christ’s Salvation. And though you are to also dothese works to accompany your faith, they are to be done in Jesus’ name and for the Glory of theFather (1 Corinthians 10:31 and Colossians 3:17). But these good works we are saved unto(Ephesians 2:10) , FOR THIS PURPOSE, would be done consciously within an assembly(“church”, organization, fellowship, ministry) that is sincerely dedicated to these things for theglory of God. And if such purpose is the case there are some things that would not be present: themention of a false god or goddess, hazing, worship of founders, worship of self, worship ofothers, stealing, hatred, competition, lying, sexual immorality, and more. Though all ‘Greekmembers’ do not commit every sin possible, in a godly organization when sin is present it wouldbe corrected and correction would be righteously received.

Now, so far as what AKA is being in each of the candidates—are the candidates filled with theHoly Spirit? If so, then they need nothing more. Or do they? Now, the above actually says thatthe advancement of AKA is to be looked upon so sacredly and honored so much to the extent thatwhat AKA is, would be within each of them. “and the advancement of Alpha Kappa Alpha are asacred trust to be honored in such a manner that what Alpha Kappa Alpha is will be in each oneof you.” For one, this is idolatry. And if so much of the contents of Alpha Kappa Alpha consistsof idolatry (which you will see more of as you continue reading) then that is what will become ofthose who sacredly intake Alpha Kappa Alpha, who esteem “her” to the extent that “she” will bein each of them. This is the process of becoming transformed by the Holy Spirit through theacceptance of and obedience to Christ the Lord and GOD the Father. What justifies His waysbeing cast off to honor and spiritually intake another? God’s Word does so call this “idolatry”.What another is, is not to be in any of us. Explanation: What you desire I may also desire, yourpassion I may also inhabit [or be influenced by], your vision I may receive, but who and what youare [in spir itual depth] I am not to become; what I intake, it is such that I become; if I intake theHoly Spirit I become godly. This may be really hard for some to perceive but God has given tothose whom He has chosen to give ears to hear and eyes to see (spiritually) , as the Word also saysthat by hard hearts He has closed the ears and eyes of some that they may not understand and may

14follow the ‘god’ that they uplift (Hebrews 3:15, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 and 2 Timothy 2:24-26).When we hear inf luential historical speeches and that of historical influential figures, we aresometimes pressed to believe that the spirit of that person is to become a part of us. Not so. Assaid, as led by the Spirit of God we can receive the passion that He will for us which may havebeen the same passion another person had but we don’t take in another person’s spirit and thoughthings may be given symbolically they are also dangerously received literally. Now us, AfricanAmericans, being highly soulful and spiritual people, more-so in the past if we had a passion orbelief in something we clung to it with all faithfulness so words like these above are dangerous tothe faithfulness of us who God desires for Himself only. We should not speak or receiveanything to be in us that is not the or of the Spirit of God. We must use wisdom and discernment.Selah (stop and meditate).

>>> latest insert, 2008 >>> The Bible says to not le t your good be spoken evil of bymisrepresentation and lack of clarity, so I would like to clarify in case any AKA is reading alongwithin her ritual. There was no mistake made as God has pointed out what offends Him.However, I became more aware of someth ing that was noted. The first part of this degree ofFidelity and Love actually says, “May you also become increasingly aware that the pledges andvows which you have made before God, and in the presence of Alpha Kappa Alpha women hereassembled who believe in you and the potentialities which you have for the perpetuation of oursisterhood, and the advancement of Alpha Kappa Alpha are a sacred trust to be honored in sucha manner that what Alpha Kappa Alpha is will be in each one of you.” The reason I noted that isbecause it is obvious that what was allowed bothered my spirit is the part that I have noted above(anything otherwise may have prompted a different and less effective response), while others maysay “well, if you carefully read and pay attention to the commas, the ritual says that the pledgesand vows are a sacred trust to be honored, not necessarily one’s potentialities and or for theadvancement of AKA (though they are included).” However, whichever way readers choose tosee or believe it the response is the same. The problem still lies more and particularly in thepledges and vows made (before God) and, along with, using one’s potentialities for theperpetuation and advancement of the organization in such a manner “that what Alpha KappaAlpha is will be in each” of the initiates, and our focus and issue is that this includes those whoprofess Christ’s Lordship and YAHWEH God as Father. <<<

“A backward look at our sorority reveals history of which we may be proud. That glory is notmine nor yours. It belongs to our predecessors, those women under whose leadership thesorority grew in strength and service.”

For recognition purposes I personally would say that this is fine. It seems to acknowledge thework that the AKA predecessors have done and give honor. The issue is, especially whencoupled with the prior and following things noted, again that the women given glory are givenglory for their works within AKA, which the ritual says that the work done is for the glory of theorganization and here we see this includes the leadership. You see, Christian members, if AKAdoes good works for God then the glory is to go to God, but their works are not done for God andit is proven by who they say the glory of their accomplishments goes to.

15As stated, honor given on behalf of a deserving one(s) is not sin or sinful, but here it is noted thatthis is in conjunction with those works that are not for God. So, it’s like this, “vow to work for theglory of the organization and you therefore receive glory.” How and why? For one, as a memberof an organization whose fame you are working for, you receive glor y from those who covet anddesire your letters. Also, this reminds me of when I spoke on how the enemy will [so-called]“bless you.” (Below, in the Alpha Phi Alpha section I used the example of certain sinful dutiesthat make room for desirable rewards and how those “rewards” are not, but may be taken as, theblessings of God).

“We, in this sisterhood, are bound together by affection, by common interests, beliefs andinspiration.”

Now, I must truly note that having common interests and beliefs (being on one accord) with themembers of an ORGANIZATION (note the root word “organize” (1 Corinthians 14:33)), is notan issue, however, in this case there is a big issue! The word of the LORD says, in Philippians2:1-2 concerning manners within the Body of Christ, “Therefore if there is any consolation inChrist, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfillmy joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.”

Are all AKA candidates Christians? Let’s say they are, are all of the ladies in the entireorganization Christian? But they are bound together. Now, because many have expressed theirdisbelief that this is an issue, let’s look at 2 Corinthians 6: 14-18:

14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship hasrighteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the livingGod. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.’17 Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate , says the Lord. Do not touch whatis unclean, And I will receive you.”18 “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORDAlmighty .”

If the Word of God, the Instructions of God by the Brother Apostle Paul, tells us in the fellowshipof the Spirit to have the same love, be of one accord and of one mind, and also asks whatfellowship, communion, accord, agreement or part do believers have with unbelievers and thosewho worship another ‘god’, how then is Philippians 2:1, 2 in accordance with those of an

16opposing faith?? Think it’s no big deal? Well, let’s continue in the Word of God (because HISWord is not to be argued). Let’s evaluate this for a second: “The Christian’s Response to ThosePresenting An Opposing Doctrine:

2 John verses 10-11, “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive himinto your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.”

If we are told in the Scriptures not even to accept one into OUR EARTHLY HOMES he whobrings a contrary doctrine (when one is attempting to bring an opposing doctrine) (2 John verses10 and 11), will GOD ALMIGHTY accept them into His Kingdom; HEAVEN/ Paradise? If oneDENIES Jesus what did He say He’d do?...deny that one before God (Matthew 10:33) , so inessence what I would like you to think about is thus: if GOD Himself, as our Guide and Jesus asour Primary Example will not allow an unbeliever into heaven, which is a spiritual matter, whatexcuse do we have to come into spiritual yoking (a oneness) and fellowship with them?? I wasskimming back over the Corinthians passage and I decided to just skip down and it was like Godwas saying “how dare you disregard the need to read the words I spoke!”, so as I read throughverses 16-18, those that I began to disregard the need to reread, I noticed something. He says ‘youare the temple of the living God.’ If God is in you and says that those who deny Him will bedenied by Him then what right do we have to join in yoking with them rather than simply purelove ministry (not involving a yoke of covenant)???!!! We are only to minister to unbelieversand those of a contradicting lifestyle to the Word of God but we are not to become a part of whatthey are just to minister to them! When Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, “I have become allthings to all men that I might by all means save some”, just to break down any excuses so that wecan more able receive conviction and Truth, he did not mean to literally become them (as in “I’vebecome a drug addict to minister to drug addicts”). What happens is that IF you, in YOUR freewill, happened to experience such [ungodly] life of disobedience (sin) then God can use that asyour testimony to minister but HE doesn’t put you into a sinful lifestyle just to use you!!! (Referto James 1:12-16) It would defeat His purpose of sending His ONLY Begotten Son! And thetestimony would be “don’t do what I did but rather OBEY GOD!”). What Brother Paul meantwas simply to come “on their level”, in such a way that they could receive him and the ministrythat he offered (or to relate to them)…NOT become or engage in their sin or sinful lifestyle!!!!!

Furthermore, the Word also says how can two walk together unless they agree? (Amos 3:3). Wecan not spiritually co-operate with one another if we are not on one accord. Example: when issuesarise in any relationship and the two decide to pray but they are praying to different or opposingSources, how will they agree? Can you receive GODLY wisdom from the God of Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob if your “partner” is sending you a message from another god? From reading thestudy on yokes we conclude that when we bind together [in covenant] with others, we then comeinto strong fellowship and agreement with the spirits therein. How does God view this if thatcovenant is of a Christian and a Muslim? Is HE in agreement? What does His Word say? Iunderstand this part of the ritual was “positively” spoken to encourage oneness and sisterhood,but in Love, I must tell you, if we are committed to God’s laws and commands, WE HAVE NOEXCUSE!!!! (PLEASE READ THE STUDY OF ‘YOKES’).

Now, this is followed directly after the section above that was just spoken of in the ritual. We seeand know that not all members of any of these organizations are Christians and the organizationsseek not to offend anyone’s faith, so we Christians then wonder, who is the Eternal Spirit? Thiscould be the “god” of any religion. Why? Because, just as with masonry from which Greek letterorganizations stem, people from any religion are accepted. Are they wrong? Probably not, butit’s wrong for a Christian to be bound together with them or better said, UNEQUALLY YOKED!This is also compromise on the part of the Christian authority (leadership who are Christian) inthis organization for not standing up against this and this also goes back to how the AKA ritualtook “O LORD” out of Psalm 141:3 to comfort the non-Christians and to deceitfully passify theChristians. Many religions refer to their Higher Power as ‘God’, but not all accept Jesus nor Histestimony, which is the deceiving part to Christians when people and organizations [who areaccepting of all “faiths”] use the word “God”—some don’t realize that that “God” could be anygod. However, because some organizations have chosen not to use the word ‘God’ (because inthe USA nation the term is usually more widely accepted as the God of Yisrael) and becausemany believe their Higher Power to be eternal the term “Eternal Spirit” has been adopted, thiswe’ll also see in the Deltas’ ritual. (Because this file is not done out of contempt or with a mindto simply find wrong in everything but rather to expose what is wrong for the spiritual counsel ofChristian aspirants and members alike, I will note that the prayer prayed is a pretty good prayer.However, the term of the “Force” spoken to is a way of bridging all the faiths combined. Thissuch compromise, as Christians and by Biblical standards, we don’t do.)

“and what we are willing to do to keep Alpha Kappa Alpha the great organization it is and mustcontinue to be.”

This statement goes back to the oath taken in the Fourth Degree: Fidelity and Love, on page 32,“to stand by Alpha Kappa Alpha in every undertaking” and in the Introduction on page one,concerning the ritual, “they must (in the physical sense) be protected by the chapter.” These threestatements together explain why members these organizations (this one in particular) will lie fortheir organizations even when the rightful claim of idolatry, ungodliness, and compromise isagainst them; no matter what, it doesn’t matter! Why? Because Alpha Kappa Alpha must beprotected in the physical sense and stood by in every undertaking (even if ministry is going forththat comes against their rituals) all that Alpha Kappa Alpha would continue to be the “greatorganization” that it is because it “must continue to be”.

As said above, I’ll say again in other words: As highly spiritual and faithful African Americans,whatever we honor we honor in our hearts and (for some) depthly in our spirits. We mayconsider something to be symbolic but what we receive, we receive in spirit. I mentioned theparts of pages 32 and 1 in correspondence with this on page 36 because though members may saythat certain things are “symbolic” the defense that they feel and harsh defense they uphold when

18under the pressure to response biblically to these rituals says otherwise. Some will even verbalizesuch “glory” is of the founders and many, in strong reverence, call their organizations “glorious”,which we can be sure they truly feel this way about their organization. Wouldn’t you, if you weretold such wonderful things about an organization, told of the famous members, the works anddeeds, and to top it all there was the intimidation that “many are called but few are chosen”(literally said to you) and then you finally get chosen?! You honor your process and yourmembership (and may justify the hazing as “purposeful”), and all the teachings along the way.You are told and repeat that your “rituals are sacred.” You are indeed bound and in a position towhere you are willing to do and say anything to keep the organization’s fame and perseveranceand that means you may even have to justify your denial of the very message that would causemany of the members to leave, who happen to be Christians. But the point of the message is:YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE BOUND! Submit your willingness to serve and desire to be lovedunder the Lordship of Christ the Word.

“Hail Alpha Kappa Alpha dear, we greet thee here tonight, and may this noble sisterhood bealways our delight. And may this noble sisterhood be always our delight. And may this noblesisterhood be always our delight.”

The difficulty in telling and receiving the Truth is that it sometimes just doesn’t sound good ornice. As a common cliché, truthfully, “truth hurts.” And I don’t mean to do such but I have towarn that the intention to be “nice and loving” in ministry gets harder as the ritual quotes getworse. So, this is just a warning that I “gotta keep it real.”

All hail, who? King Jesus?—NO!—hail Alpha Kappa Alpha.

Hail is to praise / worship. So this isn’t idolatry, huh?

“May this noble sisterhood be always our delight.” This is stated three times. Psalm 37:4 startsby saying, “Delight yourself also in the LORD….” And when it says “also” that doesn’t mean‘added to whatever and whoever else you would like to delight yourself in’, but it is saying “also”as in added to (in addition to) what was spoken in verse 3. ‘Delight’ means to take great joy andpleasure in. God says to delight yourself in Him. You know, what’s coming to mind is thatwhat’s also interesting is that everybody wants to claim God’s blessings, promises, and covenants,“But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, Or to take Mycovenant in your mouth, 17 Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you?” (Psalm50:16, 17). More could be said but I’ll just say to see that this passage, verses 3-5, says that thosegodly desires God places in your heart He will bring to pass / manifest as you commit your wayto Him. We must also consider, “when was the last time I shouted ‘hail King Jesus’ to the Lord”,not including the song? Keep in mind the words above are said and sung during each initiation—so who’s being hailed more, Jesus or AKA?

19“When cares of life o’er take us and our locks are turning gray, We’ll always reverence A.K.A.forever and a day. We’ll always reverence A.K.A. forever and a day. We’ll always reverenceA.K.A. forever and a day.”

So, when things (trials; cares of life) come the way of an AKA she will reverence AKA instead ofGod who has the power to change the situation? Note, when cares of life overtake you and youseek relief, there is no “I go to God about my problems” AND “We’ll always reverence A.K.A.”;you can’t say both. Seriously asking, what would be the point anyway?! Once again, you cannothave two masters. God needs to be first and last and everything in between. (This does not meanthat people cannot be honored, but honor in the sense of highly respected, which God Himself hasplaced that blessing among many people; Mary, Abraham, David, Solomon, Jesus, and manymore, even today). And how far of devotion, dedication, and faithfulness to “always reverenceA.K.A.” is noted when they say “forever and a day”. Now, that part is just too much to speak onand probably can’t even be put into words. “We’ll always reverence A.K.A. forever and a day” isalso sang three times.

Now, an argument might come from Christian members and even non-members who know AKAssaying, “when she goes through in life she always goes to God”. (The following is a justification Inormally hear from Greeks). What then would you think to hear a Christian say “It’s okay for meto be a Satanist as long as I don’t do what they do or outline”? You’d find that quite odd. (Andyes, Satanists do community service!) So, just because you don’t follow everything that written inevery aspect of your life doesn’t mean that it’s okay because you are still apart of it, you are stillbound together with it, you are still yoked, it still requires you and all members to speak contraryto the Word, and from what 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 says, you are in agreement with it. As aninitiated member, you still spoke or sung those words and you have to realize that God was thereat that moment and heard it. Is there no need to repent?!

(Please read the study on “Defining Yokes”! Study found on www.holyspiritspeak.com)

(All sing together the Sorority Hymn.)

What happened to God? Was He pleased while witnessing this? Was He not insulted? Topledge your heart, mind, and strength to anything other than God is IDOLATRY! (And there isNO excuse for it; no excuse can make this right, but there’s only one thing that can rather correctthis and that is the Blood applied to your heart and spirit through repentance. You can beforgiven if you turn from it).

20And against the excuse that “maybe they ple dge to God through the means of Alpha KappaAlpha”, just keep reading.

Let’s break this down to see what happened here: “I pledge my HEART to Alpha Kappa Alpha”,“I pledge my MIND to Alpha Kappa Alpha”, “I pledge my STRENGTH to Alpha Kappa Alpha”.Now, the Word of God: Deuteronomy 6:5, “You shall love the LORD your God will all yourheart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” Luke 10:27, “So he answered and said, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength,and with all your mind….” And then you pledge these things to AKA, to foster THEIR teachingsand to OBEY THEIR LAWS, and to make THEE, which is supposed to be Alpha Kappa Alpha,Supreme in Service. No God-fearing, Holy Spirit filled, “taking up my cross to follow Christ”,witnessing to the world Christian can honestly and truthfully say that this pledge is not idolatry!And from the looks of it, if you pledge these things to anything/one other than God you are noteven faithful in fostering God’s teachings, obeying His laws, or making Him Supreme in service!An excuse could be “well I still love the LORD with all my heart, soul, strength, and mind, but Iam actively serving mankind through AKA”. If the Word of God says that you SHALL love theLORD your God with ALL of your heart, ALL of your soul, ALL of your strength, and ALL ofyour mind, where do you find room to PLEDGE these things to anything/one else other thanGod? Praise God! See, if you do love the LORD with all your heart, mind, soul, and strengththen at the point of pledging them to AKA or any other person(s), thing(s), or organizations, thenyou have turned these things over from God to idol (you PLEDGED them to another entity). Yousee? Amen.

“And against the excuse that “maybe they pledge to God through the means of Alpha KappaAlpha”, just keep reading.” I just want to make it plain. This is not a pledge to God throughAKA, it is a pledge “To Thee, O Alpha Kappa Alpha…..” Wait, with an exclamation markadded, for emphasis.

Now, I want to go back and speak on “making thee Supreme in Service” (capital “S” for“Supreme”). Even if you do good/godly works through, let’s say, a ministry, it is still not theministry nor the people to be glorified; we can give honor and be thankful that someone wouldstart such a ministry or organization but that GOD would be made Supreme (through recognition)through our service, because HE is working through us (as Christians)! God would be given thehonor publicly to lessen self-glorification, pride, and praise from the public and the entity wouldmake a declaration in the ritual that honor is to God for what we do and that would show forth inour character and our works (not just our mouths as we notice by many when they are scripturallybeing accused).

Wait just a second, I must say this (pay attention to the underlined parts and give them themost attention): think about this: first, you have “whoever” (a founder or eventually a member)sitting, and writing (these rituals), supposedly a Christian. Imagine the audacity to actually write(as a Christian!) “Hail Alpha Kappa Alpha dear,” I seriously don’t understand what Christian,filled with the Holy Spirit would be led (by what spirit?) to or have the audacity to write suchthings. And then the pledge part of the initiation you are to say that you pledge your mind!Come on, put the two together, is there no ungodly force working something together? Most ofthe members are Christians so the ritual then says, without explaining why, that the AKA Sororitymust continue to be “the great organization” that it is. Why?

21“There is one thing that spurs usTo victory’s heightWith a fellowship sincere and rare.

Chorus

O, Alpha Kappa Alpha

We often say “it’s not really that big of a deal” or “it’s not really influential” when something isnoted, just once. But when the contents of something are so repetitious, doesn’t it then mattermore than it first seemed? Wouldn’t it grasp your attention and deserve a serious look and even asincere prayer? According to your ritual, what spurs you and other Alpha Kappa Alpha membersto victory’s height? Answer: “O, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Dear Alpha Kappa Alpha”. This isaccording to the repetitious content type within the ritual. I’d like to share that many Greeks havealso, at some point, found it pointless to try to convince someone who’s studied their rituals thatcertain things are not there, because they realize you weren’t told by someone else but have seenit for yourself. So, for a time, they’ll stop denying that certain content is there and they’ll just say“well, just because it’s there doesn’t mean I live by it.” First, lol, this is an admittance to thecontents in the ritual. Second, you can take the time to read Proverbs 18:21 and examine thefaithful hearts of Greek members, yourself included. Realize that that faithfulness is more to theorganization, its fame, and the popularity members receive, as second to the faithfulness of actualservice work, no offense. There’s more praise chants and calls with fervency and “spur” thanmembers at service events. This is not to ‘blast’ anyone but I hope you see the spiritual aspect(s)of the scriptures correlating to the statement above in the ritual. Proverbs 18: 21, “Death and lifeare in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

Via the thesaurus the word “spur” also means: urge, encourage, incite, prompt, stimulate, goad,impel, drive, prod, provoke. Is there anything wrong with being encouraged by an organization?I’d say “no”, but Alpha Kappa Alpha makes it very clear that there is ONE thing that spurs themto victory’s height. What is it that spurs them to victory’s height? “O, Alpha Kappa Alpha, DearAlpha Kappa Alpha”.

“Greater laurels to win

22Rereading the file, I’ve said to myself, “I’m not sure if I’ve blatantly proven yet that AKA’s ritualsays the work is done for the glory of AKA” but I yet knew it was in the file to be stumbledacross.

Remember, Christians justify these affiliations by saying that the work they do is “a good work”and some to the extent of saying they are fulfilling God’s will and work. Because of their verylast statement in their sorority song (before they repeat the chorus), there is no way a[n][Christian] AKA can honestly say that what their organization does; community service and whatnot, is for God because their sorority song says, “ for THY honor and glory today”. Now, let’skeep in mind that these “Thy” and “Thee” are in reference to the sorority. How do we know that‘Thy’ and ‘Thee’ is in reference to Alpha Kappa Alpha? The last part of the song says, “for thyhonor and glory today” then the chorus comes back in: “O, Alpha Kappa Alpha Dear AlphaKappa Alpha”. So it goes like this: “for thy honor and glory today, O Alpha Kappa Alpha, DearAlpha Kappa Alpha…..” This is also proven because the sorority song is not the first time we’veseen this. Remember “To thee, O Alpha Kappa Alpha! We pledge our hearts, our minds, ourstrength….” that is from the AKA Pledge on page 39. The sorority song is how the initiationritual ends. But there’s more to examine.

“Sorors, we are gathered together to repledge ourselves to the ideals,……”

When I first saw this, in amazement, my first response was literally, “Oh my goodness! Theyactually continuously go through this. They pledge and then continue to re-pledgeTHEMSELVES!” Themselves [YOURSELF], meaning their [YOUR] whole being; all that they[YOU] are (hearts, minds, and strength), to the ideals of the organization, and remember this isfor the honor and glory of Alpha Kappa Alpha, not for God. What could possibly be understoodif you were pledging and re-pledging to ideals of an organization that is for the honor and glory ofGod (meaning that the ideals of the organization is all about giving honor and glory to God whilebuilding His kingdom) but don’t hold me to that statement.

“Alpha Kappa Alpha came as the first light into the dark world of Negro womanhood.”

“This is the light of ideals, inspirations, sacrifice, encouragement, social fellowship, sisterly love,service, culture and merit. This light which never goes out, was handed to us by other hands andmust be preserved and passed on to others. (Sorors carrying candelabrum enters and places “it”on the table.)

23Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life—the Light of the world. Christians are referred to as“light of the world” because Jesus, the true Light of the world, resides in us and we are areflection of that Light. Matthew 5:14 tells us that we (Christians) are the light of the world, butin John 8:12 Jesus tells us that He is the light of the world. And, no, the Scriptures do notcontradict. To explain the teaching that ‘we are the light of the world,’ next to John 8:12, it israther that the Light of the world is in us and shining through us making us to appear as light tothose around us. How do we know that Jesus has said that in essence He (Jesus) is the true Lightand we are basically a reflection of that light? In John 8:12 towards the end of the scripture Jesussays, “He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” “Have the lightof life”. Without Christ, the Light of the world, we are nothing, but we are in, walk /live indarkness. And our reason for standing as the light is to guide people to the Way, the truth, andthe life—Jesus Christ, because if they follow Him, they can now have the light of life (we are notthe light, but we are to let our Light, who is Jesus, shine through us as a lamp for those who are indarkness). Further explanation of this is: because the light of the Holy Spirit is in us it is to shineon the outside of us that wherever we go (especially in dark places and atmospheres of the world)then that light is to shine as an example to unbelievers of the joy, peace, happiness, and truth ofthe Holy Spirit in testimony of the Holy Word of God; the Bible.

Now, all of that to say that the organization, Alpha Kappa Alpha, is not saying that they are thelight of the world or the first light of the Negro woman’s world because of Christ, but because oftheir three Greek letters and more-so, their founders and members who were initiated beforethem. “Alpha Kappa Alpha came as the first light into the dark world of Negrowomanhood….This light…was handed to us by other hands…” (Not Christ). They are not thefirst nor last Greek letter organization to claim this either. Because of their true foundation,which is Masonry and not Christianity, this is where it sprung from—Masonry. Christ wassaying that because of Him, through His Holy Spirit, and for His glory we are to be the light ofthe world—for His glory (Matthew 5:16), but that light only comes from abiding in Him (John15:4). Other people, out of the good treasure of their heart, may resemble good and therefore beinterpreted as ‘light’, in sincerity or deceit (keep in mind 2 Corinthians 11:14), but True Light,being Christ, is only in those abiding in the Holiness of God. (This has nothing to do with“church-goers” who still live worldly; I’m sure the thought of them would cloud one’s ability toreceive that last statement).

Also, AKA says that they came as the FIRST “light into the dark world of Negro womanhood.”Before Christ there was no other and that is why He had to come and because He came there is noneed for another. He says, “I am THE FIRST AND THE LAST…” Oh, and “the Alpha andOmega.” Even though we are light as in witnesses through our talk and our matching walk, weare not exactly the Light, the Light is still Jesus who is just in us. So, their statement of being thelight—first light, “of Negro womanhood’ or any other group of people, places, or things, is false.Praise God for bringing to mind that because not all members are Christians, not only are theysaying that AKA is light unto Negro womanhood but even the non-Christian members.Christians are a reflection of the light of Christ, therefore He tells us that while we are here we areto act as such—the light of the world, but only for His glory and testimony.

In summary, again, AKA is not saying that they are the light because they are Christians (whichall are not), but because of their organizational affiliation AND that the light is passed on fromtheir founders and prior members. So basically, seeing that “they were the first light into the darkworld of Negro womanhood” then without them the world of the Negro woman would still bedark? Hey, that’s what it says.

24“This is the light of ideals, inspirations, sacrifice, encouragement, social fellowship, sisterly love,service, culture and merit. This light which never goes out, was handed to us by other hands andmust be preserved and passed on to others.” So we also see that what is being said is that this isnot the light of Christ, but the light of human morals that do not alone lead to salvation, peace orjoy (of the Holy Spirit), and two, they are saying that the light is given from their founders andsorors who came before them NOT from Christ. Again, SCRIPTURES [AND THEIMPLICATION OF SUCH] ARE USED TO MAKE CHRISTIANS THINK THAT THEIRORGANIZATION IS FOUNDED UPON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES! (Even though they havenot even implied that this is to be taken as inspiration from Scripture!) Christians accept theseclaims when they are either not grown or growing in Christ or when they are looking for anexcuse (compromising) to continue with what they have been convicted about or see is wrong,not because they want to partake in idolatry, but because they want to belong. I don’t reallybelieve that idolatry comes to some people’s minds as they attempt to join these organizations,but those with a relationship with God will receive discomfort or conviction from the fact that it isan idolatrous situation.

“………..(Sorors carrying candelabrum enters and places “it” on the table.)

What the heck is so wrong with that? Well, one of the mentors of an abstinence group forfemales, founded at a Chicago C.O.G.I.C., made a point or analogy one day (not at all trying tocome against Greeks as she is a supporter, but used them as an example). Her point was on howsome people on her college campus were not recognized by name until you mentioned theirGreek affiliation. Her question was, “what do you want to be known for, how do you wantpeople to remember you?” The point mentioned was about being known as a woman of God.And again I say, Christians should make a personal declaration to be known as Christian women,not to try to be known, but to be an example to others. “…..that they may see your good worksand glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) AKAs pledge themselves to be AlphaKappa Alpha women to remember, basically saying, to be remembered as an AKA. As aChristian, you should want for people to look at you and see a Christian not an AKA or any otheraffiliation, thus also being remembered as a Christian—although some do want to be known as anAKA (one of the various reasons for joining) and haven’t thought twice about being known as aChristian. (To desire to be known and remembered by an affiliation other than of God is to toohighly esteem and idolize that affiliation). When you want to be known as a Christian you willwatch how you talk, how you act, how you treat others, how you respond to situations, who youhang around, where you go, and everything that you do will [in conscience attempt] reflect Christin a positive light. Though these next examples are or can be true for any Christian or person ingeneral, let’s look at the situations and challenges for the Christians in these particular [type of]organizations: “how you talk” ? filthy talk, rumors, scandalizing, sexually immoralconversation, lying, cursing, swearing (as in oaths), self-gratification, glorifying founders and theorganizations etc.; “how you act” ? competitive (Galatians 5:26), prideful (Proverbs 14:3 andProverbs 16:18, 19), a great majority of the things listed in Galatians 5:19-21: idolatry,fornication, hatred, selfish ambitions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, drunkenness, envy, revelries,

25heresies, etc.; “how you treat others” ? competition (Galatians 5:26) and hazing; “how yourespond to situations” ? outbursts of wrath, physical response to anger, maximizing rumors,etc.; “who you hang around” ? unequal yokes (2 Corinthians 6:14-19, 1 Corinthians 15:33,Proverbs 22:24, 25, Proverbs 12:26, 2 Thessalonians 3:6, and Ephesians 5:11) and a majority ofthings noted in Galatians 5:19-21; “where you go”? secular parties and clubs (while churchattendance is either less or becoming more religious) . This is not to say that these things are notdone outside of these organizations, but Christians get entangled in them and increasinglydevelops in these things after joining these affiliations (speaking on Christians who are trying tolive righteously before joining).

Now, a member might say, “well, it’s not about being remembered as an AKA, but an AKAremembered for what she has done.” It’s still pointing out that “in that remembrance, rememberthat she was an AKA” and again, the things done aren’t for God; yet “only what you do for Christwill last”. (1 Corinthians 15:58) Praise God! (Throughout the Reconsecration Service, thisstatement is made a total seven times—the number of completion and manifestation).

‘We rededicate ourselves to Alpha Kappa Alpha”

There was a woman in the Bible (Hannah) who was barren (could not conceive a baby), so sheprayed earnestly with tears and supplication that God would give her a baby boy (Samuel) andshe told God that she would dedicate her son to Him. God honored her request and that storyexemplifies that dedicating oneself or something or someone that you love or want so much toGod is honorable to Him. So to say that you dedicate yourself (you, your being, who you are) toan organization, after having continuously said this and more, is WRONG and YOU ARECOMMITTING WORKS OF IDOLATRY, because by saying and doing these thingscontinuously, your heart is going into it, you are speaking it and the strength of such commitmentinto existence, and it is getting into your spirit therefore becoming a little too important andtreated as a “god” AND making it harder to detach from (whereby we hear justifications forthings clearly wrong or sometimes a decrease in understanding because of spiritualtransformation; blindness, emptiness, and separation from God).

“God honored her request and that story exemplifies that dedicating oneself or something orsomeone that you love or want so much to God is honorable to Him.” If we are truly dedicated toGod, how much are we willing to sacrifice? Would YOU sacrifice your “beloved” organization?Would YOU sacrifice your desire to be apart of a particular organization if God says that it is notof Him?

This is quite a bit, excluding another portion that I have withheld. This is an abundance ofidolatry. Once again, to “hail” is to praise / worship. “We’ve ne’er forgotten you” will be spokenon later.

Here again is the pledging one’s mind. I must point out also that “we’re ever true” is anabbreviated form of “we’re FOREVER true”. In the spiritual realm there is a war going onbetween the devil and the fallen angels (demons) and God and His angels , all for the souls of‘men’. We are influenced by what we hear, which produces belief and faith in our hearts andMIND, and takes root in our spirit , and therefore has spiritual control in our decision-making.(Some of this you can get from Romans 10:17 and James 1:13-16). (This is with our consent, Ibelieve I talked about this above. James 4:7. Submitting to one gives power and control to resistthe other). So, when you pledge your mind to something you must know and understand the in-depths of it. But we are to never pledge your mind to anything other than God because you’lleventually be led by such and too committed to it, which is why people don’t and can not see thedarkness of their affiliation with things like masonry and other organizations that have rituals likethese that contain idolatry, compromise, and ungodliness.

“And love you more each day; For ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA, we’ll cherish you always”Remember the ability to speak things into existence in the spiritual, the power of words. As theaffiliation is kept, the stronghold of “love” for the organization gets stronger. This is a problem; itmakes it harder to let go of when called by God to do so. “We’ll all your praises sing.” Now,actually, as may have been mentioned, praise (and /as honor) is noted in the Bible to be given towhom it is due. In standing for someone as they enter a room or approach a platform, in clappinghands, etcetera, this is praise, God’s Spirit spoke and led Paul to write that this is okay as a formof exhortation, encouragement, and appreciation, but when coupled with the words and a heart ofworship, that which is to be praise as in acknowledgment in appreciation, then becomes worship.This is an expression beyond mere honor. Just re-read it.

The ceremony then ends with the Soror ity Hymn and Sorority Pledge. The pledge that says, “Tothee, O Alpha Kappa Alpha! We pledge our hearts, our minds, our strength; To foster theirteachings, Obey thy laws, And make tee Supreme in Service to all mankind. O, Alpha KappaAlpha! We greet thee!” (page 39 in the ritual, pages 20-21 in this file).

“Grant that we may be unstinting in the use of our energies to work for Alpha Kappa Alpha,….”

Ahhhhh, here we go; the proof of the pudding. You know, as we minister to Christian ‘Greeks’the heart of God concerning the words spoken in these rituals we often hear things like “all I do is

27for God, baby!” (in frustration of the ministry). I have noted that ministry can be done in manycapacities, including in the unity of an organization, as well as church or assembly or the like, butthat what we do, we do in the name of Jesus and for the glory of God.

This prayer to the ‘Eternal Spirit’ is very interesting, because for a Christian AKA who has notyet noticed the extent of her words and the emphasis that lies in the fact that they are repetitious,it is sorrowful to believe that when the prayer is prayed by the Christian she more than likely ispraying it to her God (while others pray, somehow in unity, to their god, as one??). The problemis that before asking that God, or the ‘Eternal Spirit’ (named for many gods) would grant them tobe unstinting in the use of their energies to work for Alpha Kappa Alpha, they first ask that the‘Spirit’ “Be with us as we remind ourselves of the pledges we have made, and the loyalties weowe.” Doesn’t it sound good to be mindful to uphold your word, your vow? See the lastparagraph above this quote of the prayer, on page 27, to be reminded of the Pledge that iscontinuously spoken before God and re-read this document from the beginning to be reminded ofthe various vows heartily spoken.

Now to make this plain and simple so as not to be accused of not having a point; God commandsthat we work for Him, to build His kingdom by bringing more people to accepting salvation andbuilding people to be disciples of Christ (students and followers)—Matthew 28:19,20, and ifnecessary then even to the point of death. Our mission is to work only for God, through love,service, and the Gospel, and until all souls are saved or have at least heard the Word, then wedon’t have time to work for anyone else if it’s not about the Great Commission, respectfully, orproviding for the livelihood of ourselves and families financially.

In the midst of a loss of energy that I’ve sometimes had when it came to working on this file, Irealized that this work is for God and the reconciliation of His people and that I must use thedepths of my very energy in commitment to Him and anything He gives for me to do! But if I usemy energy(ies) to work in an organization that PRAYS TO GOD, or whatever so-called “EternalSpirit”, to ask that my energies be used to work for the organization, then where is mycommitment to God? What energies are used to work for God?

I’d like to believe that some Christians really mean well, but really, we have to be careful of whatwe get involved with. We can not be led by personal or fleshly desires, but rather the Spirit ofGod (Romans 8:14 and Galatians 5:16, 17), even in personal endeavors.

Summary and Reminders: (1) This is a PRAYER (2) of REDEDICATION, TO ALPHA

KAPPA ALPHA (3) prayed to the ‘Eternal Spirit’ (4) asking the ‘Spirit’ to be with them asthey’re reminded of their Pledge (see page 27) (5) and to grant them to be unstinting in the use oftheir energies…to work for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

“…….we attune our hearts and minds to the spirit, vision, courage and dedication of our inspiredFounders.”

28“…..we attune our hearts and minds TO THE SPIRIT……OF OUR INSPIRED FOUNDERS.”As Christians, because of the deceit of the enemy, which we see how he has deceived God’schildren to getting into these organizations, we should ALWAYS be in tune with the HOLYSPIRIT OF GOD not another sinful human being whether they are saved or not, whether theyhave done great things or not—you never know what you are really asking for , you don’t knowthe secrets of men nor their spiritual struggles, soul ties, or family ties. Also, because thefounders of these organizations are deceased remember what Jesus said in Matthew 8:22, “ButJesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” I’m sure there are some ofyou who are deep and studious in many things and are strict on context; on this you and I mayhave almost missed great lessons from being too strict. So here’s another one. A wise questionwas asked in Isaiah 8:9, “….should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead onbehalf of the living?” Should they?

This reminds me of the concept of divination, that which has to do with calling on the spirits ofthe dead for help, guidance, and counsel. In the process one also “attunes their heart, mind, andspirit” to the spirits of another, usually an ancestor(s). This is forbidden in the Word of God. Heintends for us to depend totally on Him and in so we build our trust and faith in Him [entirely].Communicating with the deceased, especially as it has to do with being spiritually in tune withsuch, and seeking them for guidance is an escape route from the need to “wait on the LORD.” Iverily see that there is not a direct request to call on the spirit of the founders, but to [request oneto] attune your heart and mind is not far from such and, if you think about it, it is actually a littledeeper: calling on spirits versus attuning to those spirits. Either way you are in a communicativeposition with the deceased.

I want to point out another issue here, KEEP THIS IN MIND AS YOU READ AND RE-READTHIS FILE!: many times the idolatrous things noted in the rituals are not spoken when theinitiate is not around, or is softly spoken. They in fact are structured that the initiate him orherself are the ones speaking such things. However, to cover it up, to help the Christian feel morecomfortable with what could be noticed as something wrong, and to justify and excuse it,contrary things like “attune our hearts and minds to the spirit…of our…Founders” would befollowed by, surrounded by, or mixed in with some “good” or “nice” things like “vision, courage,and dedication….inspired” even things like ‘Eternal Spirit’. You have to be careful! Be sure topay attention to things like that, you’ll see it in other rituals too!!!!

“May we be forever aware of the building of Alpha Kappa Alpha,…”

Now a vision is almost in vain if there are no committed laborers, right? I think we agree. If youare following along, however, you have realized at this point that the members are pledged to aspiritual faith and reverence to the organization and its founders and the motivation for the deedsare for the glory and honor of the organization. This doesn’t make sense for a Christian though.One is not in a position where she has already gone through the entire initiation ritual of pledgingand vowing to reverence and sing praise to the organization, submit to and bow to the founders,and more (see pages above). We then went on to read aspects of the Re-CONSECRATION (seepages 2-3 above) Service during that time there was the imploration to attune ones heart and mind

29to the spirit of the founders, understandably but incorrectly. And now again, at the Founders DayRededication Ceremony, one is again implored to be forever aware of building Alpha KappaAlpha. I’m inquiring more on how to emphasize or highlight these points to Christians. As said,building a vision makes the vision purposeful, to me. But when it has been noted to you, theChristian, that are to pledge and vow to secrecy, reverence and praise, unequal yokes, to pledgeyour heart, mind, and spirit to, and to live by the precepts of the organization that further notesthat your good deeds are for the glory and honor of the organization. ….. (sigh), as a Christianthis is more than building a positive and godly vision for the blessing of other people and glory ofGod. It’s not about other people or God. Remember, your purpose seal (page 26, pages 4 and 5above).

The thesaurus shows “aware” to also mean: conscious, alert, attentive, awake, responsive,sentient. As a Christian your soul and heart is to be deeply aware of the building of the kingdomof God, even if that is outlined in a ministry, organization, or church’s vision, but it’s about thekingdom of God being built and the glory of God being, not the building or glory of an idolatrousorganization, respectfully and carefully stated. And with the state of the church being “oh yeah,there was a Great Commission” we don’t have time for being concerned with the affairs of thisworld (2 Timothy 2:3-5), we must redeem the time for the days are evil (Ephesians 5:16). Thismeans we don’t have time, literally, to be careless or find reasons to be complacent in what ourflesh loves. It is a time of correction, repentance, and dedication to God’s Word and work. Youcan serve in the community, in a church, in an organization, in many capacities, but rememberthat the Bible says to “do all in the name of the Lord Jesus” and “do all to the glory of God.” (1Corinthians 10:31 and Colossians 3:17). How can we be faithful and committed to building thekingdom of God if our focus is on building something else—an organization? Remember,Christians cannot have two gods. This again shows who AKAs work for, the Christians included.

“……(After a brief pause)

As we continue, almost page by page of the ritual, sincere Christians should find it more andmore difficult to defend the organization on behalf of the Bible. If you’ve been following along,this may even be tiring. At this point the AKA is getting deeper into idolatry. So much of one’sheart, mind, soul, and spirit have literally gone into this organization. Everything we do we mustconsider God’s view and His heart, we must also examine ourselves (2 Corinthians 13:5, 1Corinthians 11:28, which is definitely in context, Psalm 26:2, and Psalm 19:14).

Going back to Luke 10:27 and Deuteronomy 6:5, spoken of in response to page 39 of the ritualand pages 20-21 of this document, let’s look further at Deuteronomy 6 starting at verse 5 again,“You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all yourstrength. 6 And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart” even to the pointof verse 7, “You shall speak them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sitin your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” Someonemight think I’m over-exaggerating, but I’ve seen many girls look in awe at the Delta pyramid

30(hand-sign /salute), heard many high school girls’ desire to “skee-wee”, heard of pastors barkingfrom the pulpit and hopping outside the church singing praises to Omega, and many Greeks speakmore of their organization with terrible pride. As a teacher in the faith, called to care for youth,and studious of the Word (all glory to YAHWEH God), and having experienced variousdenominational structures I have examined one of the biggest reasons for Christian faithdecreasing at the point of stepping onto college campuses (over-exaggerating) is because of thelack of Christian-Biblical teaching in the church and entirely more-so in the home. I know how itis to leave church as a child and drive away listening to secular music while smoke is blown inmy face. (There’s more that you also can/may identify with). Yet I have seen guys and ladiesboth proudly raise their children to desire Greekdom, allowing them to through up hand-signs,and yet only mention their faith when accused of sin in any capacity, especially at the threat oftheir membership. How much greater can the ‘love of thee’ get?! God says, ‘I don’t want yourmouth on Sunday, I want your heart beat.” (A paraphrase-explanation of Deuteronomy 6:5-7 andIsaiah 29:13).

“Sorors: May we remember what our treasure is, and where our strength lies….”

The sisterhood is spoken of as the most valuable possession. The ladies continue “that we maysecure forever the tie that binds us together.” As I interrupt this I simply want to remind you ofthe unequal yokes and the words “secure” “forever” “tie” “binds”. Afterward the Leader speaksand says, “Let us, each one, fervently hope, and diligently work for an enduring sisterhood. Maywe through our day to day relationships add a gem to our beautiful pin of sisterhood.” Likemyself, you probably also hear beautiful words of sisterliness. Repetitiously, I remind you of onlytwo things. The first is unequal yokes, which we’ve spoken of. Second, you’ll note the aim andgoal of each organization is to pridefully be the greatest or to simply be worshiped, honored,glorified famously and this must be done through gaining more and more membership.Membership is not a problem, except for Christians. It is again the call to work for AKA, thistime not for glory through service, but glory through membership. I’m emphasizing the work forAKA for the glory and fame, only this time through another method. ‘Let each one workdiligently [through day by day relationships] to add a gem [lady] to the sisterhood, so that theorganization may endure.” This does go back to the service (and events) but this time formembership, for fame. Service for fame, fame through membership. Service and membership isnot wrong or sinful, it is the motivation in our spirit. Though not blatant in the part of the ritual, itis yet there and throughout the ritual, it’s all about fame but only through working [for AKA].

If we haven’t read it before, we’ve heard Matthew 6:19-20, but let’s look at verse 21, “For whereyour treasure is, there your heart will be also.” We have already read that the AKA’s heart ispledged to AKA and even dedicated to a greater love of thee. So this is who and what theirtreasure is. If we think of things in spiritual light, this is not pretty. Some spiritual ruler isdominating. What is this about? Remember, this is Founders Day RE-dedication Ceremony. TheChristian must decide.

The passage in this ceremony is speaking about the love and building of the sisterhood of AlphaKappa Alpha. I agree that we should love people regardless of who they are or how they live, butwe have a Biblical commandment from the Father through His Messiah that says that the love ofthe disciples shows that we are His disciples (students) (John 13:34, 35 and John 15:17). For aChristian, loving people in other religions is not to be so accepting that we overlook their faith asmere “acceptable”, as it is also not to disrespect them by disrespecting their faith. However, thecommandment given to us is to be an example of the love of God while witnessing Christ as theWay to the Father and salvation of eternal life. Biblical Christians do not believe that all roadslead to heaven and we are to be much more caring about the condition of their souls, enough toshare Christ in word and deed, that is the Gospel spoken and exhibited. Is this not truth? Jesussaid, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” (John 14:15).

On the part of Christians everywhere, the claim to just love people of all religions may be anescape route, to escape the responsibility of witnessing and be able to take someone in for socialbenefit.

God loves His creation but while Genesis 1:26, 27 and 2:7 tells us that we were all created byGod and so were all things (John 1:3), John 1:11-13 tells us that we BECOME His child; READIT FOR YOURSELF! So, how can people of other religions be your sister? (Ethnicity doesn’tcount; the only two families are spiritual families; John 1:11-13 and John 8:44). Yes, again, weare to love sinners and the lost as Christ does, but that does not mean to ignore, compromise, andjustify their faith, although we should understand that not everyone was ‘raised in the church’ orhas had an introduction of Christ. Reread 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 if you must. This sectionbasically tells the members more than just to love the members of other religions but to acceptthem in such a way that you overlook their religion (meaning to care less about their religion;“Love that KNOWS NO RELIGION” and a love that rebels against God’s Word is hatred towardGod (James 4:4) , we can be only hot or cold (Revelation 3:16)). Remember when we talked aboutbad things being covered with good words? ‘Love’ is a pretty good word huh? And it can be soeasily thrown in a Christians face about how they are supposed to love everybody but this doesnot mean that we are to compromise, be unequally yoked, and to overlook someone’s false belief!

“O Alpha Kappa Alpha

We greet Thee here tonight,O may we always cherishThy name with all our might.We honor and revere TheeOur heads to Thee we bow,O Alpha Kappa AlphaWe’ll keep Thy ev’ry vow………”

The greeting and requests (O Alpha Kappa Alpha We greet Thee here tonight, O may we alwayscherish…”) is very much so like a prayer, such a communication form that we use to strengthenour relationship with God, fellowship with Him, make requests known, honor, adore and worship,even His Name. That whole part of the hymn is idolatrous and should speak for itself.

Idolatry, simply put, is putting something or someone before God or even equating such to Hislevel. ‘None beside Him.’ The words of this that I’ll call ‘prayer’ are very wrong; “O may wealways cherish Thy name…..with all our might.” (The four Hebrew letters in the “OldTestament” manuscripts are translated in our Bibles as “LORD”, in place of the Sacred Name ofGod (Exodus 3:14, 15)). “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your Name give glory”(Psalm 115:1)

“We’ll keep Thy ev’ry vow.” Human beings can’t even keep the Ten Commandments let aloneall of the commandments and teachings in the Bible , and God knew this in not expecting for us tobe able to do so but to let us know that without we could not be holy, without Him we would failin anything, and that we do need Him. So if we can’t even keep Ten Commandments how are wetrying to keep “EVERY vow’ of an idolatrous organization—an organization? We should notvow to keep the vows of an organization if the vows are not to keep the vows of God.

DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY, INC.

“Question: What is the ultimate goal, then?

Answer: Wisdom! The college educated woman seeks to become wise rather than smart. That iswhy Minerva, the Goddess of Wisdom, is our sorority mentor.”

Now check this out: since Deltas “seeks to become wise….that is why Minerva…is our sororitymentor”. Uh, HELLO? Did you catch that?

Mentor- 1. A wise and trusted COUNSELOR or TEACHER. (The second definition notedAthena as the guardian and teacher of Telemachus in Greek Mythology)

The BIBLE says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives liberally andwithout reproach, and it will be given to him.”—James 1:5.

Proverbs 2:6,7 says, “for the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge andunderstanding; 7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;”

33Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge ofthe Holy One is understanding”

God is the giver of wisdom, not Minerva, who is a false god and cannot give one anything.Therefore, if one thinks she has attained anything from Minerva, then what she has is nothing, butrather comes from your own understanding. The Word of God tells us that, 5 “Trust in the LORDwith all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledgeHim, And He shall direct your paths,” –Proverbs 3:5,6.

Again,….Mentor- 1. A wise and trusted COUNSELOR or TEACHER. (The second definition

noted Athena as the guardian and teacher of Telemachus in Greek Mythology)

Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be uponHis shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, EverlastingFather, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 11:1, 2, “There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow outof his roots. 2 The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, Thespirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.”

When we (as the Church Universal; all Christian churches) begin to finally teach those who’vebeen brought into the Family of God more than what we told them to bring them in (God is God,God is good, Jesus is the Son of God, Jesus died for your sins, etcetera basic stuff—is there notmeat available?!) then we come to know and understand that the duties of God the Holy Spirit arethat of to teach, lead, guide, protect, correct, convict, and comfort us (as Christians); (thoughteaching (from the Holy Spirit) explains bringing about an understanding of God’s Word and thepractice of the lifestyle , it also includes mentoring and giving wisdom (and discernment)). So dowe see the contradic tion with this part of the Delta’s ritual versus the Word of God? Not only dothey not note Jesus as their mentor but they actually note a false “goddess” as their mentor andfrom whom they receive or seek wisdom!

I must also note, because some will say “well, I do not really consult Minerva for wisdom”,which I definitely understand and even believe (in this realm), however, your participation invarious rituals and simply in an organization that has noted Minerva as the mentor of theinternational soror ity, is disgusting in the sight of God and does so insult and grieve the HolySpirit! To greater understand this, please read the attachment on “Defining Yokes”. We’d cometo know that one’s beyond affiliation, but rather yoking, does make one to give glory to the deviland not God! (Satan has always, since his fall from heaven (hence the term fallen angels), soughtto steal God’s glory! So think; if the enemy (Satan) is behind the organization spiritually, what ishis point?! Basically, you being apart of anything ungodly does so give glory to the devil!)

Psalm 91:1 says, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under theshadow of the Almighty,”

James 4:6 says, “But He who gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, Butgives grace to the humble.””

Ephesians 1:7 says, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins,according to the riches of His grace.”

God Himself gives grace, and He gives it to the humble!

In reading this section of the ritual, or candidate syllabus, one must ask herself, “as a Christian,is God not only glorified, but simply okay with me being apart of an organization that saysthat I am under the shadow and grace of a false goddess?”

You know, I was thinking, one might say “well, if this goddess if false, then I am not trulyconnected to any real being…it’s just symbolism”. Again, if the enemy is behind theorganization, what is his point? Yes, the point is that you worship him! Well, how? Thissyllabus notes being under the shadow and grace of Minerva, it makes no mention of “Satan”,“Lucifer”, “the devil”, or any name known of him. In actuality, as you read on, you’ll learn underthe teachings of Minister Charles Johnson (a point made by him) that these false gods andgoddesses are devils by biblical definition through his studies, however, I want to simply make itplain: we know that when you put anything or anyone above God then that thing or personbecomes your god, right? Which makes the person an idolater, right? Well, furthermore, theworship or trust in anything or anyone other than God is idolatry; to mention the seeking ofwisdom, the abiding in the shadow and under the grace of anyone other than God Almightygives worship and glory to the devil! (The things that offend God are lovely to the enemy;Satan). When the enemy can get you to say things like this, or participate in things like that,regardless of the name that’s used, if it’s not God it is deceitfully the devil! There are only twoforces; right and wrong, good and evil, God (and His angels) and the devil (and his angels, emps,or demons). There is no middle ground, there is no ‘in between’, there is no neutrality. Jesussaid ‘if you are not with Me, you are automatically against Me’ (second part slightlyparaphrased). This is so because having not yet been redeemed only through coming to Him, youare still in the flesh, walk according to the desires of the flesh, and work to please the flesh whichis of a sinful nature, caused by Satan. Basically, if it’s not worship to God then it is worship tothe devil. This goes back to putting something or someone before God, as in through your time,money, heart, and commitment, when you do these things, that which you do them unto is as agod to you and is therefore idolatry, which is therefore worship not unto God (as idolatry is notpleasing to God, it is pleasing to the devil and as it does not glorify God it does glorify the devil).I hope that makes it clear…we must move on…..

(Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Grand Chapter, Ritual, p. 175)

From an e-mail originally sent to “apostolic sister who is a Delta” and was forwarded to me onFriday, October 22, 2004 from Minister Charles A. Johnson III:

“The woman’s head atop the shield on the sorority emblem is the image of the goddess Minerva,a devil and an idol…..They have claimed Minerva, the Greek goddess of wisdom, a devil and anidol, as their own……an organization that claims to be founded on Christian principles is notwise at all when they place the image of another god as the emblem of their organization. Howhypocritical is it for an organization claiming to be founded on Christian principles to take theimage of another god and have that image represent their organization? That is taking a devil torepresent something that is supposed to have a foundation in Christ. Minerva is a devil, byBiblical definition. What fellowship should Christians have with an organization bearing theimage of a goddess, which according to the Scriptures is a devil? Then this organization claimsto be based on Christian principles. The true God hates the image of another god. How can anyChristian not see that the very presence of this little idol offends God? The mere presence of thispaganism should weaken any organization’s argument that they are based on Christian principles.This is because any organization based on Christian principles will separate themselves from thethings that our Lord God hates. And if our Lord God hates anything, it is the image of anothergod. That is an abomination.”

I want to reemphasize the first of the Ten Commandments: “You shall have no other gods beforeMe.” And to also reemphasize a part of the second of the Ten Commandments noted in versefive: “…For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God….” Sister Minister Gail Gray did such awonderful job in explaining the first commandment to me one day which she basically says,(paraphrasing) “this does not mean just in sequence (as in first, second, or last; placing somethingfirst and God second), but also to bring this before His presence “to bring it before Him”” Wow!I never thought of it that way before, but we come to God (in prayer and relationship—for thosewho already have committed themselves to Him) not remembering that God looks at the heartand not the outward appearance, not the words we speak but the heart that is in accordance withor contradiction to the words, and we come to Him in idolatry (having placed any thing or personas more important than God not verbally, but more-so non-verbally—through actions whichspring from the depths of the heart) trying to ignore what He has spoken concerning our heartsand our affiliations. That’s a problem “Houston”! But God is faithful and just to forgive us of oursins if we confess (verbal / admittance) and repent (action; [sincerely] turn away).

“It is clear that the goddess’ name derives from the ancient root for “mind” and her domain was– even more than Athene’s – intellectual. She was wisdom incarnate in female form, the goddess,therefore, of the application of intellect to everyday work, thus of commerce and crafts. She wasalso said to be the inventor of music. While the Founders chose Minerva as the Sorority’s patron, it is important to recognizethe undisputed intellectual domain of the goddess and be guided by this emphasis. That she is

36one of the strongest and most admirable goddesses of antiquity is ample basis for cherishing heras a patron.”

Patron- 1. One that supports, protects, or champions someone or something; a sponsor or

benefactor 2. A customer, esp. a regular customer 3. The owner or manager of an establishment

“A regular customer”, at first I was not going to note this part of the definition because I thoughtit was irrelevant to the topic but I then realized “regularly receiving their services—spiritually”Wow.

As stated above in the AKA (Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority) section, “I’d also like to note that thisspiritual deception is not always blatant on the part of the members. The Bible says “we wrestlenot against flesh and blood against spiritual wickedness….” (paraphrased from Ephesians 6:12)and that the devil uses the unsaved and the spiritually immature (who do not sincerely seek a realand strong relationship with God) to his advantage. So, when people walk in the desires of theirflesh and not sacrifice those things to follow after the Holy Spirit (LUKE 9:23), they become ofuse to the devil because they drown out the voice of the Holy Spirit and strengthen their fleshbecause of the submission to the flesh above the Spirit.” PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND ASYOU CONTINUE READING, while not using it as justification to join anyhow butunderstanding that this is so because of a submission to ‘contrary spirits’ through ungodly rituals.

The devil truly gets his glory from these organizations, (which is why he fought me so hard overthis ministry). Check this out: “She was also said to be the inventor of music.” Now who’sreally the inventor of music? No, it’s not the devil, but he sure thinks he’s slick. (God createdmusic for His glory, but why does this say that Minerva is said to be the inventor of music?). Thedevil was once Lucifer, at the time he was the arch angel in heaven. Because of Lucifer’s prideand drive to “take over”, to not only be like, but to be God, he was thrown out of heaven. Uponhis leaving he convinced 1/3 of the angels to go with him (so as to build their own kingdom)(Revelation 12:7-11 and some note Isaiah 14:12-15). Since then, Satan has sought to steal God’sglory (and His people). So in many forms the enemy (because he is cunning and deceitful)“tricks” (as in the garden of Eden) God’s people into worshipping him (you may refer to 2Timothy 2:26) (Look at the influence of music; too much care and desire for material things,encouragement of fornication, disrespect, and more…he gets “us” to worship him through theworshipping of other things and people; that worship is what belongs to God, but when given toanything or anyone other than God then the enemy is pleased and therefore glorified). “Basically,if it’s not worship to God then it is worship to the devil.” (Explanation: Praise, in the Bible, isgiven to men, but there is a thin line between praise and worship and worship is to be given toGod alone, so if worship is being done and it’s not to God then it is to the devil, even if notdirectly, because he is glorified by it). Anything or anyone we put before God or glorify as wewould God then that thing or person becomes our god.

37Oh, I so thought I was done with this section until I reread and noticed the very last line: “Thatshe is one of the strongest and most admirable goddesses of antiquity is ample basis forcherishing her as a patron.” “cherishing her as a patron” Come on now! In the gist of rejectingcorrection you hear “Greeks” say things like “that’s just symbolism” “we don’t actually worshipthese gods (or goddesses)” Yet, here the national organization is mentioning a strong suggestionthat this false goddess be cherished…..as if she isn’t a false creation, I mean, why would youcherish something that is false? “That she is one of the strongest and most admirable goddessesof antiquity is ample basis for cherishing her as a patron.” This doesn’t sound like it’s meant tobe symbolism but sometimes people can be very passive and good for making excuses for any sinthat they wish to partake of. The “it’s just symbolism” is truly shut down with this part because itdoesn’t say “cherish her as a symbol” it says “cherishing her as a patron.” (benefactor, owner ormanager of an establishment (Minerva chosen by the founders at the establishment of theorganization, noted as the goddess of wisdom whom they seek to receive wisdom from). We thennotice the members use her name as screen names and what not for various on-line (internet)fellowship sites (facebook, Black Planet, blogs, yahoo groups, even e-mails); on Delta SigmaTheta Sorority’s unofficial website (www.deltasigmatheta.com) the owner, Bee-Jae (Bonita Y.Jackson), names her computer services company “Minerva Computer Services”, yet theycontinue to deny the truth of her influence and denote her as just symbolism (this is so becausewhen you hear this thing you recognize that it’s bad, wrong, and dangerous yet it’s hard tobelieve that you would partake of something like that….mostly because of who you started out asand do not recognize that you are not that same Christian).

“….Minerva (Pallas Athena), the Goddess of Wisdom, is atop the shield which bears the torch,the sword, the staff and the three Greek letters, Delta-Sigma-Theta. The sword, representingtruth, is a part of Minerva’s symbolism…..”

The devil is truly cunning! We have already noted that Minerva is not just symbolism but taken alittle more seriously than merely symbolic, however, they do say “….is a part of Minerva’sSYMBOLISM….” Well, let’s read this a little more closely: “The sword, REPRESENTINGTRUTH, is a part of MINERVA’S SYMBOLISM. Need I say more? Pray. Study. Pray.Receive. Exercise wisdom. Wait a minute….let me say it backwards “MINERVA’SSYMBOLISM….REPRESENTING TRUTH”. Got it?

“We believe in a spiritual life, but we leave to the individual the selection of the medium for itsoutward manifestation.”

(Quoted from the National President at that time)

38Now, all of the organizations within the National Pan-Hellenic Council claim to be founded onChristian principles and some will even go so far as to say that they are Christian organizations,so to say that you leave to the individual the selection of the medium for its outwardmanifestation means that a lady from any religion may join Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, whichresults in the problem that the Christian members will be unequally yoked. Above, in the AKAsection, we looked at 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, well here it is again:

14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousnesswith lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the livingGod. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.’17 Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch whatis unclean, And I will receive you.”18 “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORDAlmighty.”

This is how you know that guilt has set in; when Greeks are accused of not being organizationsfor Christians you get this response: “we were founded upon Christian principles”, then whenthey are accused of being unequally yoked “well, our organizations are not Christian (orreligious) organizations.” This is not to “play” anybody, but I want for you, whether a member oran aspirant, to see this because sometimes we’re so busy trying to convince ourselves one way oranother that we don’t realize how we contradict ourselves therefore not able to see the Truth inwhat we speak or believe.

Furthermore, there is a difference between being founded on Christian principles and being aChristian organization. See # 3 of “Points To Consider” below.

Not only is being unequally yoked a problem from the declaration of the past national president’sstatement, but the fact that most of the members in each of the well-known nine historically BlackGreek letter organizations are Christians and most of the international leaders presumably are alsoChristian, therefore for them to not only not take a stand against this, but to support it, iscompromising. “Loyalty is defined as total commitment without distraction or compromise”(Commentary for Luke 9:23-25 from the Spirit Filled Life Bible for Students).

There are, sadly, statements of unclear revelation of ‘who exactly is God’ by statements like thisfirst one, in a poetic expression, noted by the CHAPLAIN on page 32 of the 1996 Grand ChapterRitual, “….Some call it evolution, And others call it God.” The poem continues and makessimilar statements three more times but never does this organization founded upon Christianprinciples say something to the effect of “WE call ‘it’ God.” This expression is stated toward theend of the initiation of honorary members directly after the CHAPLAIN says, “We believe in aspiritual life but we leave to the individual the selection of the medium for its outwardmanifestation.” This is a very old expression used in Delta, ‘from then til now’, so to speak,therefore the year of the ritual does not make this point irrelevant.

39Preceding the below statement there is a section that says, to the members, “You are a child of theuniverse,…..” These are the words of people who believe in “a Higher Power” but will not andrefuse to confess that Power as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and furthermore, to acceptHim through Christ Jesus. I may have mentioned in this file already that there are truly only twospiritual families, of God (John 1:11-13) and of Satan (John 8:42-47), no one is a ‘child of theuniverse, plants, trees, or air, etc. etc. They continue, “….And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” Next sentence continued below.

(Couple the above statement with the following three quotes):

“Therefore, be at peace with GOD, whatever you conceive Him to be.”

(Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Grand Chapter, 1996)

WHATEVER you conceive Him to be? Well, here (and the three or four quotes above) we aregiven an admittance to the fact that women of any religion are accepted into this organization aslong as she’s a “good” person (and can PAY the dues). However, it’s not like they ever deniedthat anyway, so now what? Well, once again, for the umpteenth time, UNEQUAL YOKE. Sowhat? Haven’t we covered this already? So what! But seriously, it’s so relevant and importantbecause many times we hear but we don’t hear until we hear it again, you understand? But themagnitude and significance will set in when we understand how great an issue ‘unequal yokes’are. And when we understand the spiritual depth of yokes, we then will not need to hear aboutidolatry and this or that other type of sin because just the mention of one (blatant and accepted)sin would be enough to make us change our minds if our hearts are already committed to the Godwe claim to serve….BUT since that’s not the case for everybody…..let’s move on…..

“Our founders were well aware of the need to transfuse the ideals of Greek moral values with thelater concepts of brotherhood and love. This is why they clearly wrote: ‘We are a sisterhoodfounded on Christian principles…….”

From an e-mail originally sent to “apostolic sister who is a Delta” and was forwarded to me onFriday, October 22, 2004 from Minister Charles A. Johnson III:

“Why did these ladies feel the need to ‘transfuse’ Greek moral virtues with Christianity? This isa clever deception. The word ‘transfuse’ literally means to pour out of one vessel into another,like a blood ‘transfusion.’ They attempted to pour Greek moral virtues into the later concepts ofbrotherhood and love, with Christianity being specifically implied here as ‘brotherhood and love.’Are brotherhood and love truly ‘later’ concepts, with Greek moral virtues pre-dating them?Christianity mixed with anything is a falsehood, especially Greek ‘moral’ virtues.”

40(I’d like to add that Greek moral values includes honoring and uplifting homosexuality and idolworship; the worship of more than one God).

Okay, there are some deep issues here that I am just now catching. For one, the Brother Ministeralready brought out how they felt the need to transfuse Greek “moral” values with …laterconcepts (?) of brotherhood and love. But here’s the part I’m now really getting. Because of theconcepts of brotherhood and love the founders wrote “we are a sisterhood founded upon Christianprinciples” but not because they intend to be established, structured, and standing upon the wholeof Christian principles as an organization wholly built on Christian principles. This is what themembers “think” and intend to imply to suspicious Christian aspirants. They only mentioned“Christian principles” because brotherhood and love are Christian principles. Either some of theChristian founders were tricked (deceived) or they deceived themselves and therefore deceivedothers so they could be the worldly organization they wanted to be, but with little conviction.

“The most direct line of descent from Greek societies to America is the Freemasons (calledMasons). Historians of American fraternities and sororities trace most of our rituals, ceremoniesand rites to the Masons. An examination of Masonic rituals open to the scholars suggest that ourFounders were also influenced by Masonic ritual, symbolism and initiation experiences.”

Well, the first thing is, how can you be influenced by something that you know nothing about?As has been stated above, at least one founder from each of the well-known nine historicallyBlack Greek letter organizations has participated in masonry. So, this is the part where theybasically prove these claims to be true: “…suggest that our Founders were also influencedby…….experiences.”

(Although the claim about the founders’ Masonic experiences are never denied and for most ofthe sororities, the members usually have ignored this claim by not responding, while the fraternitymembers would blatantly admit it as they do not see any wrong).

From an e-mail originally sent to “apostolic sister who is a Delta” and was forwarded to me onFriday, October 22, 2004 from Minister Charles A. Johnson III:

“Now I myself can verify this. I have Masonic rituals, the Heroines of Jericho, and the Order ofthe Eastern Star (Just got it this morning!). Since I have read the entire DST ritual and have it inmy possession, I can easily see the Masonic influence. I did not have any hard evidence that anyof the GLOs claimed Masonic inspiration in their origin until now. It would take me another e-mail to show you how evil Freemasonry is. It manifests the very power of Satan in this world.The name of Jesus is even BANNED in the Lodge. This is not to offend Masonic ‘brothers’ ofother religious beliefs, because Freemasons allow for alternate religions from Christianity to beequally recognized by the Lodge. The only requirement to join is that you must believe in ‘some’higher power. Which god that you believe in is not important. Then you end up calling someoneyour ‘brother’ or ‘sister’ (frater or soror) which worships a different god and has a different faithfrom Jesus Christ…..”

41Christians who are members of Greek letter sororities have frustratedly justified to me theMasonic organizations by boldly claiming, with great attempt to “shut me up”, “well to even be amember of a Masonic organization you have to believe in a higher power.” (emphasis whereitalicized).

(REMINDER: From the AKA section above: “………” about de javu and masonry (from Gail’sbook)):

Well, I have just received the OES (Order of the Eastern Star) Ritual, a women Masonic typeorganization, and lo and behold the similarities between the AKA and OES ritual. “One “Greek”fraternity brother expresses his casual attitude in this manner: “….Each of the four fraternitieswas founded by at least one man who was a member of the Freemasons….” (Greek LetterOrganizations: Offspring of Abomination, by Gail Gray, page 44) The same is believed to be truefor the sororities as well and you will see a quote in the Delta section that indirectly admits such.

“Along that line, there is a former church pastor who shamelessly admits that he is an Alpha manand a Mason. It’s obvious that he was one who preached on Sundays and fraternized at othertimes. This is a portion of his testimony: “First, it is a known fact that the majority of the founders of the BGLO’s were involved inwith the Masonic and Eastern Star organizations. I can say with certainty that there was sometype of relationship due to the similarity of several BGLO rituals, most specifically Alpha phiAlpha and Omega Psi Phi, to the first three degrees of Masonry. In fact, I have known severalmembers of both Alpha and Omega who are Masons who remarked that they felt a sense of deja-vu when getting their Masonic degrees.” (Greek Letter Organizations: Offspring ofAbomination, by Gail Gray, page 53-54) I must note also that Alpha Kappa Alpha is noted as thesorority of the NPHC with the most similarities to the OES ritual.

Sister Gail replies in her book by saying, “….Furthermore, it wouldn’t be possible to experience“deja-vu” unless the initiation rituals were strikingly similar among the two Greek -letterorganizations and lodge through which these men were initiated.” (page 54)

“We turned for guidance to one of the most ancient initiation rites, the Eleusinian mysteries. It issaid that even Plato approved of them, believing that the Initiate generally led a better life as aresult of the influence of his/her ritualistic experience. The objective of those rites was to ascendthrough the natural elements to a “new life” (being carried forward through all theelements)…….Deltas and Pyramids are all familiar with the four basic elements. The Eleusinianassociated the elements with certain human forces: Earth…..Water…..Air….Fire. The goal istranquility and spirituality. Here the aspirant rejects the negative and material values of theworld and transcends to a more spiritual plane.”

I want to first note that this starts by saying “We turned for guidance….” This exposes that theinitiation rituals have been influenced and inspired by the ancient Eleusinian “mysteries”.

42After each force (earth, water, air, and fire) there is then a notation or explanation:‘Fire ........transcends to a more spiritual plane.’ ‘Funny’ how the aspect of fire is relative to theaspirant transcending to a more spiritual plane; fire being relative to ‘a certain part’ of thespiritual world. Another thing I’ve grasped is that this is done before the Pyramid Induction;these ladies are still aspirants, have not even gone through the Induction Ceremony. Rememberin the AKA section when we spoke on how after certain things are done then the spiritual aspectof the following activities are not much of a war for the candidates basically because of spiritualtransformation from deception and acceptance / submission?

(Note: “The Eleusinian Mysteries were annual initiation ceremonies for the cult of Demeter andPersephone based at Eleusis in ancient Greece.” www.wikipedia.org. See “Sources” below formore research information).

Aspirants, think hard. Ever remember saying or hearing other interests say things like, “theDeltas are so professional, the Deltas are very smart, the Deltas are…and the Deltas are…..I can’twait to be a Delta!”……. “, believing that the Initiate generally led a better life as a result of theinfluence of his/her ritualistic experience.” See, when we succumb to things with by our fleshlydesires without knowing its spiritual roots then we are open to those forces behind such a thing,this bears witness to the lack of acceptance of this ministry—even by aspirants, who aren’t evenmembers and some who have yet to go through the process!

Minerva is repeatedly recognized throughout the ritual book of Delta Sigma Theta, to save timeand space, I’ll just note some more insertions. From the Crossing Over Ceremony, crossing overfrom the Pyramid Circle , on pages 72 and 73 of the 1996 Grand Chapter Ritual.

Chapter President: “The Sorors of ___________ Chapter / Region gather at this time to bearwitness that you are ready to move even closer to the center of Minerva…….You will remove yourshoes and be escorted by a member of the Minerva Circle.”

Leader of the Minerva Circle : “Wait in quiet contemplation in order that you may accept the callof Delta, which will come to you in a gentle voice bringing the sacred message.”

(Underlining added by myself to direct the attention to and for emphasis).

‘NO, YOU MAY NOT KNOW!’

I must admit, I think it’s understandable, but it is rather more dangerous to the Christian who is taught to ‘TEST THE SPIRITS!’

Dear Sorors, now we must depart,

“……I will never lower my aims for any temporary benefit which might be gained……I willclose my ears and seal my lips to slanderous gossip……I will always protest against the doublestandard of morals.”

Delta Hymn- Where to start? Well, the whole thing is idolatry, but lets look at the deceit of theenemy: “The bright gleam of thy vision has lighted the world;” Hmmm, let’s think, ponder,pray, meditate, pray, and receive. Remembering the Delta Meditation, restructuring 1Corinthians 13 to insert Delta’s name and change the words, could this be a restructuring of thescripture speaking of Jesus as the light of the world, yet with Delta’s name, which changes themeaning? “Gleam of thy vision” Gleam means ‘brief’, ‘faint’, or ‘dim indication’. What they’re

44saying is because of their organization, their organization’s vision, the founders and the founders’vision, and the works of Delta Sigma Theta, they have “lighted the world”. If any would like tooppose this interpretation think back to how these organizations were birthed out of masonry andhow masonry claims to be “the light of the world” as well as the organizations do say this inmany songs, poems, and other parts of their rituals (all nine organizations of the NPHC).

Delta Mizpah- I hope it is noticed that the part that says “let us be loyal, faithful, true in heart” allgoes hand in hand with “and honor Delta’s precious name.” The word “amen” means ‘it is so’, ‘itis done’ and for those joined with the one praying or speaking it means ‘I agree.” Words arepowerful and assist with the manifestation; they bring either life or death to whatever is spoken of(Proverbs 18:21). I must explain something because, maybe at a glance, that part about being‘loyal, faithful, and true in heart’ could be taken as unto the vision, mission, or sisterhood but it infact is said unto the honoring of Delta’s name. I myself had looked over that and only caught the“honor Delta’s precious name” part. So, this passage is saying, “let us be loyal, faithful, true inheart” yes, to the works of the organization, but for the purpose of “honoring Delta’s preciousname”. Why am I not saying this means “…..true in heart IN honoring Delta’s precious name”because it says “…true in heart AND honor Delta’s precious name” with, in this case, “and”meaning not “in addition to” but “for the end result of”. Think of personal encouragements thatyou have been given at church, school, or home. Words and phrases are used to encouragesomething else, such is the case with the Delta Mizpah.

Delta Oath- “I will never lower my aims for any temporary benefit which might be gained.” Ifany Christian Delta’s personal aim is to please God then why have many who have heard themessage of Ephesians 5:11 deny and reject it for the temporary benefit of membership in Delta?Observe the enemy’s tactic; how he makes a fool of God’s people and throws it in the face of ourFather yet it is US who have put a reproach on our very own Father’s name!

In addition to the contradiction of the Delta Oath, I want to make mention of very short simplenotes of contradiction of their nine Jewels / Cardinal Virtues; Compassion—hazing andcompassion contradict, Honesty—it is absolutely obvious that there is much lying about andjustifying of rituals and hazing, Purity—aside my personal questioning of the virginity,abstinence of illegal drugs, and alcohol (shown on personal web pages) of some members,particularly collegiate, but there is the distribution of condoms at events that assist the teaching of“safe sex” because “they’re gonna do it anyways”, this is the justification, enabling, andconsenting of fornication.

DELTA DEEDS

I wanted to save these things for last. Many Christians in these organizations justify theirmembership and claim that they do not work in the name of the organization and some will say“well I…” (emphasis on the “I”) “….do not work in the name of my organization” and do notwork for the glory of their organization. Let’s see what the rituals say…..

“Keep your light shining in this community/campus, so that the name of Delta Sigma Theta willalways be glorified. Never forget your obligations to perform wholeheartedly your duties in the

45Grand Chapter, so that across the Nation and around the world, Delta Sigma Theta will be heldin highest honor and esteem.”

“Let your light so shine before me n, that they may see your good works and glorify yourFathe r in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16). As we’ll see with Sigma Gamma Rho, Delta’s purpose forpositive living contradicts God’s purpose for our positive lifestyle (and service to mankind).Also, we should examine that if we live a particular lifestyle for a particular purpose then the lightthat we purpose to uphold is the light of who or what we purpose to be glorified.

“…as we work in the name of our Sorority.”

“And whatever you do in word or deed, do ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks toGod the Father through Him.” (Colossians 3:17)

Many people in these organizations say they do the work that they do (within their organization)because they are a Christian and the Bible says to do good works, but yet who gets the glory? AsI stated above, “we should examine that if we live a particular lifestyle for a particular purposethen the light that we purpose to uphold is the light of who or what we purpose to be glorified.”Likewise, whosever name we claim to work in, we work for. Christ came in the name of God(YAHWEH) as His Ambassador and Representative and for the glory of the Father. Christ camein the name of His Father to do a reconciling work and through many people’s acceptance of thisthe Father would be glorified. Christ’s teachings were that God would be glorified by theobedience of His followers. My point is that the name you work in, who you represent, you do itunto their glory (this is stated somewhere else in this long document, in a more understandableway). We have already seen this in the AKA Ritual and above in this same Delta Ritual.

“My point is that the name you work in, who you represent, you do it unto their glory.”Therefore, as noted in the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority section, when people see you doing greatthings do they say “I want to be a Christian” (because you are clearly representing Christ orgiving God the glory) or do they say “I want to (and can’t wait to) be a Delta” (this goes for all 9organizations). What did you yourself say? Now, hopefully at this moment it’s just you andGod so you can keep yourself from any self-deception, at least give yourself a realistic and truereview of your journey to “Delta Land”, whether it was sincere and true or wrong and selfish (ofthe flesh). Were you inspired to join first and foremost because the organization was a Christianorganization OR was that the justification that topped all other reasons? Now everyone doesn’taspire for membership for negative reasons but many do because these organizations areadvertised to the flesh. Common positive reasons for wanting to join are sister/brotherhood,giving back to the community through service, and gaining resources through networking.Common negative and fleshly reasons for wanting to join these organizations are parties,discounts at parties, popularity, easy access to popular and or attractive persons of the oppositesex, stepping, strolling, Greek letters, adoring the terms “soror” and “frat”, the ability to beworshipped by pledges and take advantage of them and their desire for membership in many

46ways (including financially), and many other fleshly things. What were your true reason(s)? Didyou truly gain interest and join your organization because you wanted to “serve God”?! God isnot glorified by good works alone but by good works done in His name and for His glory (seescripture above, also see Matthew 5:16); there’s a difference between mere good works and godlyworks (Colossians 3:17). How many people (in general, “Greek” or “non-Greek”) do good worksfor self-glorification?

Furthermore, as long as you’re “doing service” while in Delta Sigma Theta (or any of theseparticular organizations), the work you do is in the name of and for the glory of Delta SigmaTheta. The proof is first in your ritual itself and the results are in that when people see you doingwork, they see your letters, the letters of an organization that is not purposed to glorify God butrather is merely “founded upon Christian principles” and actually noted, secretly, that the glory isto go to the organization. Since I’ve mentioned that, please be sure to look at this idea of “beingfounded on Christian Principles.” (See # 3 of “Points To Consider” below).

The connection in all of this is that working in the name of the sorority is purposed to bring glory,honor, and fame to the name of the organization. The work, as mentioned in the AKA section aswell, is in the form of service to the community, and the exhibitions on campus, from stepping toparaphernalia, to simple things like yard plots. These you do for the fame of the organization,which in turn makes many dedicated in interest for membership, in turn making new members,and so continuously populating the membership. “Delta Sigma Theta now boasts a membershipof over 200,000 college educated women.” (found on many websites, national included). All ofthis is the heart of the competition between the same gendered organizations within the NPHCand against those who form their own organizations instead of joining an NPHC organization.

Now, I believe that I should take the time to explain the “big deal” with people seeing your lettersand responding as “I can’t wait to be a [insert organization name here]!” and such relation to thisbeing one way of bringing glory to the organization. Of course the public would see the letters ifyou have paraphernalia on, but is it your fault if their response is to desire membership and if so,what’s the problem?! Well, first of all, deep down inside you know that because yourorganization is “popular” amongst your people it brings a particular status to its members, so asyou admired almost any lady you saw with those three letters before your membership, you alsotake your turn in now receiving self-gratification and glory from the public by parading yourletters. Second, deep down inside you also know that in gaining more members the organizationgains more status and wealth, so we know that paraphernalia is advertisement! (and this, evenmembers have admitted…..on internet discussion boards, which is why your organization teachesyou to watch what you say on the internet) Still, let me say, “this is not really a big deal”. Yes, Isaid it. So far as the advertisement goes, this is from a successful business perspective but thefirst point I made about self-gratification is something that is wrong because it is gratifying fleshand seeking praise from man (John 12:43). The deeper issue is really back to the rituals versusthe Scriptures; because the work done by members are done for the glory of the organization,then when you work in order to get glory for the organization paraphernalia is no longer harmlessadvertisement but a spiritual sign that says “look at me; see Delta, praise Delta.” It is to tell thepublic how “good” you are and what you do for mankind and in turn, receive praise. Anotherissue with that is that work is no longer done for mankind but rather for SELF so that self may beglorified (the Bible calls this “selfish”) (with the exception of members who actually care, theseare ones whose decision to join was not primarily stepping, the opposite sex, and status). Now, tosum up the problem with paraphernalia as an example FIRST let me say that paraphernalia is nota sin, the issue is, rather, is surrounding the purpose for anything we do. So, summing up howwhen people see you and your good works they then desire membership or believe you are to be“honored”. As said, it goes back to the rituals: because God is not the one purposed to be glorified

47but rather Delta then you are sure to make Delta’s name known in the process: colors, letters,pictures of service to be posted to the chapter’s website, etcetera, [now this is it >>>>] Thenegative purpose of paraphernalia stemming from the rituals and purpose of “service” is TO RE-EMPHASIZE DELTA IN RELATION TO SERVICE, NOT CHRISTIANS IN RELATION TOMINISTRY. Problem again, for those who forgot after this long review, you are a Christian, theBible tells you to do what you do in Jesus’ name and for God to be glorified. So no,paraphernalia is not a sin it’s the purpose behind it which is noted in your organization’s ritual. Iused paraphernalia as an example of how service is to be used as a way of bringing glory to theorganization, and not to God. Just give thought to this when you go serving the community:‘what am I really here for?’

This is part of the opening of all Regional Conferences. Here you are reminded to not justcommit to service but to ‘work FOR Delta’ ‘strive FOR Delta’, etc. And to re-emphasize thepoint above about doing things for the glory of the organization, such involving service, toparaphernalia, to yard plots, for membership , status, money, and popularity; “to…inspire” (formembership / population / popularity and money). And “So would I live….” To do or saysomething FOR something or someone else is to do it unto their benefit, glory, orrecognition.

Review on the Deeds: The organizations of NPHC, including Delta Sigma Theta, outline that themembers are to work for the glory and honor of the name of the organization. The most basicform of this glory is that the organizations acquire and maintain fame and by this they continue toinspire more people to want to join, stabilizing that fame and allowing the organization tocontinue to grow in large numbers. You know, as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, thatthe Ritual notes the Most Sacred Trust of the organization is the induction of new members, andin case some of you may not know, this same thing is noted in many organizations’ ritual. It aloneis not an issue, but the issue is again the motivation behind it. What is the purpose?

48(To intro the Delta’s Meditation I want to inform you that the term “Pyramid” is in reference tothe ladies pledging (the pledges); undergoing the process for membership into Delta Sigma ThetaSorority). The pride that we see exhibited in the members of these organizations, which manyoutsiders normally mysteriously question with disgust, is explained within Delta’s version of 1Corinthians 13; a Bible passage. (Attention particularly upon the bold red print below; theunderlining and bold are added on my behalf):

I Corinthians 13 Delta Sigma Theta Creed/Meditation

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of Though I speak with the tongues of the learned angels, and have not charity, I am become as and the profound, and have no love, I am as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

I Corinthians 13 (Continued) DST Creed/Meditation (Continued)

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. For now we know only bit by bit and we prophesy only bit by bit;

49 But when that which is perfect is come, then But when the true sisterly spirit is attained, the that which is in part shall be done away. uncharitable shall fade away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I When I was a Pyramid, I talked as aunderstood as a child, I thought as a child; but Pyramid, I understood as a Pyramid, I when I became a man, I put away childish thought as a Pyramid; but now that I things. have become a Delta, I am done with the ways of those intending to be Deltas. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but At present we see only the great potentialities of then face to face: a sisterhood founded on Christian principles; but some day we shall know that its realization rests upon the quality of our lives in fellowship one with the other.Now I know in part, but then shall I know even At present I am learning bit by bit; but then I as also I am known. shall understand as all along the Creator of all has understood the dignity and the worth of every individual. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these Thus faith, hope, and love last on, these three; three; but the greatest of these is charity. But in Delta Sigma Theta, the greatest of these is love.

Again, the use of this Bible passage is one of the sincere justifications I know members havegiven to explain why their organization is Christian or based upon Christian principles.

I’m not sure if it is the Delta organization only, however, Delta Sigma Theta has had to havemeetings to gather and discuss their defense to explain why they are an organization that is okayfor Christian women to join. Now, the issue with that is, as Minister Fred Hatchett has asked,“why can’t they stand on what they were founded on”. This is part of the reason why therituals have changed so much over the years (particularly the latter years) (for all nineorganizations), that the Christians would be made more comfortable but here’s a problemwith that: “…though the basic elements and structure have never changed, the Ritual hasundergone revisions and additions ceremonies…..” (The History of the Delta Ritual, OfficialRitual of the Grand Chapter, 1996). From the beginning, the founders themselves choseMinerva as the mentor and patron of their organization! In all their changes, some thingshave never changed! And please keep that in mind when members say things in response tothis file and other sites such as “those rituals they’re using are old, it’s 2008 now, we’ve hadupdates” Ask them if the ungodly things we note have truly been taken out or have thewords changed but still hold the same meaning!!!

(NOTE: The Delta Meditation, the part about striving and attaining for Delta, and the DeltaPrayer are all examples, and more of course—examples of elements that have not changed). I’mnot sure exactly when The Delta Meditation was introduced but it is in both the 1969, 1996, andpresumptuously the current Ritual. Minerva, as noted, has always been there. From 1969 to 1996is 27 years, that’s enough time for Christian women to realize its offense to God, but from 1913to 2007, that’s 94 years.)

50ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY, INC.

SIGMA GAMMA RHO SORORITY, INC.

(New Sorors repeat in unison) “I pledge myself to this Sorority to be true to its code, obey itsrulings and keep faith with my sisters.”

“To thee only, Sigma Gamma Rho, I pledge my life, my best efforts and cooperation. In thee I pinmy faith, hope and trust, so that the Order of Sigma Gamma Rho shall be a beacon of light to allwomankind who are interested in every phase of education. I therefore dedicate the best that’swithin me to further its cause. In no way will I so demean myself that my actions will reflectnegatively upon this sorority. By each soror will I play the true part of sister. By each sister willI stand until the end. Within thee, O Sigma Gamma Rho, will I find the inspiration for the makingof a fine and true character.”

There is so much found wrong with this pledge to Sigma Gamma Rho according to the Word ofGod: To thee ONLY, ‘thee only’ being Sigma Gamma Rho, and to thee (only) the Christian isrequired to pledge HER LIFE! ‘In thee’, again being Sigma Gamma Rho, she pins her faith,hope, and trust….she pins her faith, hope, and trust in Sigma Gamma Rho. “Trust in the LORDwith ALL your heart….” (Proverbs 3:5) “In thee I pin my faith, hope and trust, so that the Orderof Sigma Gamma Rho shall be a beacon of light to all womankind…” I’m not sure what theorganization’s justification is for the wording of this pledge and the requiring of initiates to speakthis. Although, I’d just assume that they will for members to have faith in the benefits ofmembership to actually be beneficial and the work to actually be effective??? This particular partof the pledge seems to also have to do with the organization being an example and inspiration toother women. Here again, as we have spoken above, is the use of “positive” words for thecovering of ungodly and unacceptable things. “Faith, hope, and trust” are lovely words right? Butthe request of the statement, in order to be an example to womankind, is that one must pin herhope, trust, and faith in Sigma Gamma Rho. Do you get that?

With this portion of the document, there has come much spiritual warfare that has drawn me tomy knees….. (the last portion of the file before the document is fulfilled and revealed)….

“So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.” (Mark 11:22). Your forgiveness ofsin and sanctification as a believer is through faithfulness to God through faith in the atoningwork of Christ. The Word of God to Paul and call to conversion and ministry, that helped spreadthe message that saved you and me was, “…..to open their eyes, in order to turn them fromdarkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sinsand an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.” (Acts 26:18)

God explained to Paul the work that needed to be done in man that man should be saved, and Hewilled to use Paul to send this message to the nations. It follows:

•Open their eyes

51•Turn from darkness (from the power of Satan)•Turn to light (to God)•Receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance, such that is of those who are sanctified (1) by (2)faith (2b) in God

It’s not so much here in detailed explanation as it is in Galatians 5 (transformation and the turningaway from and turning to situation); that the forgiveness of sins is not ‘just because’, as somehave lied. God loves us but has commanded that salvation is through acceptance of the shedBlood of His Son, however, God didn’t just tell us He loves us but He showed us by doingsomething, He sent His Son. “For God so loved the world that He gave…His only begotten Son”(John 3:16). Therefore, lip talk is not what saves us but our lifestyles springing from our faithand that active faith sanctifies (Acts 26:18 or the whole book), and springing from our love (ReadJohn 14:15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments”, Luke 10:25-28, then Matthew 7:21-23,that’s only seven verses total to read).

Furthermore, Galatians 3:11 says that the just shall live by faith, not in any other entity but intheir Savior. Those who are justified and living a just life live it by faith in the power of God andthe Savior, Christ. We are not to put our trust in man (some aspect of context could apply from 1Corinthians 2:5, “that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God”). Imust emphasize this particular point; faith in God is a part of the fruit of your salvation (the fruitthat upholds the others or allows / compels you to grow in the other fruit), the root being whatChrist did to save you. Replacing that faith in any other thing is called “idolatry”. Exodus 20:3-6. “And God spoke all these words, saying: 2 ‘I am the LORD (YHWH) your God, who broughtyou out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” 3 You shall have no other godsbefore Me.” (period). 4, 5 “You shall not …..nor serve them….” (selah) “….For I, YAHUWEH(replaced as “the LORD”), your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers uponthe children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy tothousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” A jealous God, who visits theiniquity of sinners upon their later generations, BUT shows mercy to those who love Him andtherefore keep His commandments. Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”(John 14:15). God is not the one who sits back, chills, and only blesses, who doesn’t have anoutline of things He forbids, seriously, because people never acknowledge what God said not todo or they will but they justify it by talking about His mercy, which endures forever. But howmany have read Exodus 20:6 in the house today? Amen. The truth ain’t always in the pulpithonies, but it is in the Bible. God’s Love.

“….so that the Order of Sigma Gamma Rho shall be a beacon of light to all womankind….In noway will I so demean myself that my actions will reflect negatively upon this sorority.” vs. “Letyour light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father inheaven.” (Matthew 5:16) Sigma Gamma Rho’s purpose for living “righteously” is contradictingwith God’s purpose for our living righteous based on HIS Holy Word.

Furthermore, I must note that I definitely understand that no organization, group of people, orwhomever, would like members that would make the whole look ‘bad’! I get that. However, wemust pay attention to the fact of the purpose for living a particular or ‘good’ way. Listen: InGod’s Word (the Holy Bible) He notes that we live righteously as a testimony unto other peopleof who God is that they would be led to Him and in that He is glorified. And in living in such away it therefore falls into place that we work together and not demean our God, ourselves, or ourbrethren, by working in unity. This is along with the fact that being filled with His Holy Spiritwe are growing in the Fruit of the Spirit, one being ‘love’, another being ‘self-control’. In this,

52our righteous living, God purposes to be glorified. Sigma Gamma Rho, as with others, seek gloryfor the organization. The Ritual says “so that the Order of Sigma Gamma Rho shall be a beaconof light to all womankind….” Now, we in-depthly spoke on this above in the AKA Ritual so I’mnot going to deeply re-emphasize this point but I will say that one who is a positive person willhave positive effects on the onlookers and followers, but even for a woman, good woman, to so-called “be a beacon of light” to others, if she is not rooted in and trusting in Christ and othersfollow her then their destination will not be to nor in Christ (unless the person is shown how toescape the woman’s example, thereby leading one to Christ). The Light of the world, who isJesus Christ, does not have ‘dead end streets”; this is why He is the Light of the world; there’s agreater purpose and destination in following Him. A so-called ‘light’ that does not lead to Christis deception. Again, re-reading the above information in the AKA response section, you willattain a greater understanding of the ‘wrong’ in organizations claiming to be ‘a’ or ‘the light’ toanyone; pages 23-25 above. Remember that not all members are Christ-filled believers. What isthe purpose of this light?

ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY, INC.

“The candidate shall be directed to report at a very definitely specified place. He shall beinstructed to enter whether lighted or not. When he arrives, the place may apparently be desertedand darkened. As the candidate advances, he shall suddenly be accosted and mysticallyaddressed. The Oath of Secrecy shall then be administered by a Brother designated by thePresident.

In darkness you are led and then are administered to take the Oath of Secrecy—in darkness. Thissymbolizes that you are blinded to what you are spiritually getting into and when you open youreyes you are now walking in spiritual blindness. This is the spiritual takeover—the first part ofthe initiation.

“The candidate shall be blindfolded. (Teaching that out of ALPHA PHI ALPHA, men walk orstumble through business or through life, blindly missing much which should be seen, used andenjoyed.)

Members of these organizations usually tell themselves, and at the moment when theirunderstandable defensive attitudes are confronted, that most [or all] of their rituals are symbolic.Most members of the historically Black Greek letter organizations have been confronted or heardof outsiders’ concerns of the high minded attitudes, conceitedness, and what not that is attained as

53a result of their “success” of becoming a member of their organization. Whether a person makesthis ‘symbolism’ claim or not, things are no longer symbolism when we treat them or act as ifthose things are true (which is sometimes shows in responses to accusations).

This portion of the ritual is supposed to basically teach the candidate that outside of Alpha PhiAlpha Fraternity, men stumble….THROUGH LIFE and even blindly miss MUCH of what theyshould encounter! Now, we as Christians, do know that the truth is that regardless of who else isin your life or whose life you’re in, if you are obedient and faithful to God your life is full ofblessings and MUCH of what man can not give you (the opposite of saying that without AlphaPhi Alpha you stumble and miss MUCH of which you SHOULD have). Even the Word of God(Holy Bible) tells us that “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of manthe things which God has prepared for those who love Him” –1 Corinthians 2:9. The point simplyis that it is true that being a part of a social / service organization can add to your life, especiallysocially and even bring some enrichment, but that DOES NOT mean that without it you willstumble through life or miss much of what you should encounter or possess.

“But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:27)“For with God nothing will be impossible.” (Luke 1:37)“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13).“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10,Jesus speaking)

“The Brother is then admitted with the candidate. Every member present remains in absolutesilence. The candidate is brought to a stop and all remain silent for one minute. Then thePresiding Officer says: “Silence, the background of all thought. Our first step in ALPHA PHIALPHA is taken in thoughtful silence.”

You know, it quite puzzles me that they would say this (Our first step in Alpha Phi Alpha is takenin thoughtful silence) because a lot of Christians do not know that being “caught in the Spirit”does not always make you go running around the church doing flips; silence before the LORD isactually a form of worship and this is probably the least used form of worship to God and yet wefind an organization so esteemed, so wonderful, so great, and so this, and so that, that we must“enter into it’s presence” in silence. When we enter into God’s presence in utter silence it is outof awe for Him and His Majesty. Yes, the Word says to enter into His gates with thanksgivingand into His courts with praise but that does not mean that it always has to be done in a noisyway; you can enter into His gates in silence out of thanksgiving, greatfulness, complete andadmirable awe, honoring His Majesty to the point of speechlessness, and THEN open your mouthwith praise Him (after you have braced yourself to be humbled enough to even speak to this Greatand Awesome God). Basically, these words from the Presiding Officer are saying that thisorganization is that great that you need to watch how you “enter into its presence” [especiallyyour first step IN (entering into the presence and fellowship of)].

54“The Presiding Officer then gives the sign, and from the anteroom the candidate is takenimmediately out into the world. The hand of ALPHA PHI ALPHA shall defend and guide himfrom all sides as he goes……..”

“The HAND of Alpha Phi Alpha shall defend and guide him from all sides as he goes….” Whatis the hand of Alpha Phi Alpha? Read the next two sections!

“Several members shall gather around the candidate. The Presiding Officer shall call thecandidate first, to move two steps across—to the right, He does it, but realizes he comes intoimmediate contact with ALPHA PHI ALPHA men who are on all sides. He is ordered to movetwo steps to the left, with the same results. He is then ordered to move two steps backward.ALPHA PHI ALPHA men positively refuse to allow him to move backward s at all. Finally, he isordered to move two steps forward and in this he is assisted in every conceivable way by ALPHAPHI ALPHA men.”

Here’s the enclosing the candidates in a circle thing (this we’ll also see in the section on Phi BetaSigma). Now, in every BGLO’s initiation there is a point of “demonic force take -over”. We seethe candidate was instructed to oddly take steps across, to the right, to the left, backward, andthen forward. It clearly states or suggests that the point is that being in Alpha Phi Alpha, yourbrothers will not let you take any backward steps in life and even will encourage you to moveforward. Right? But “because these organizations, including, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, aretruly ROOTED in masonry, idolatry, and ungodliness, it actually belongs to and is territory of theenemy (Satan), so when you are being taught to be guided by (or assisted in being directed in life)an organization belonging to Satan or which Satan has his hands on, who or what do you think isreally guiding you? [Satan can “bless” or “reward” you too (out of his common attempts toportray himself as an angel of light and even as God). There are times that we get things in lifethat “seem” good but it wasn’t that GOD gave it to you and most times we end up finding outthat it was that very thing that caused you trouble naturally or spiritually. Think of pimps whohave nice cars, that seems nice doesn’t it? Do you think God is blessing them because He ispleased with what they do to women? We have not acquired anything on our own] Because theseorganizations compose of men from varying faiths, and therefore varying spirits, the mixturebeing confusion, the counsel you receive may sometimes sound good but be wrong, or becausethe wisdom is not from ‘on high’ it may only temporary benefit you having not an understandingof what actually needs to happen in your life or what you need to do. 1 Corinthians 2:5 states“that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” It’s good to havepeople who will uphold you in your time of need but if they are not filled with the Holy Spirit ofGod their advice and counsel is not always beneficial or safe. The Bible says in Psalm 1:1,“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, “ It then goes on to say “Norstands in the path of sinners…..”

55The point is not to imply that help, guidance or counsel from members of these organizations willdefinitely lead you to the point of murder of something of that evil nature, but that yourfellowship (not purposed to lead people to salvation), yoking, and even counseling will cause youto slip more into sin and sinful things, whether spiritually or naturally, because of your yokingwith something that is not of God. Examples are: ungodly parties, homosexuality, brutality(hazing), conceitedness (haughty spirit; pride) “nor sits in the seat of the scornful” (Psalm 1:1),smoking, drinking, ungodly conversations, etcetera. There is a scripture that says, “Do not bedeceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” (1 Corinthians 15:33).

We as humans who live in the natural realm only think of things in the natural sense, until wehave received true spirituality through connection with the Creator of all things. All people’sspirit is led by a spiritual S/spirit, your reception of their counsel and guidance is heavily linked tothe spiritual realm; that spirit that leads them purposes to affect those around them. What S/spiritare you receiving from when you receive from other people? There are false spirits. There arepeople who mean well but speak from their flesh (and fleshly impulses) which is contrary to theHoly Spirit (Galatians 5: 17).

Finally, he is ordered to move two steps forward and in this he is assisted in every conceivableway by ALPHA PHI ALPHA men.” Men who have given themselves to Alpha Phi Alpha. Readthe first few ritual quotes above if you must. The emphasis is not simply about your assistancebeing from great men, wise men, or helpful brotherly men, but “Alpha Phi Alpha men” (theorganization in caps). I pray you have the ears to hear (that God is giving you spirit ual hearing).The point is about what spirit leads? What spirit inspired the writing of the rituals? (Masonry, ledof what spirit?). You have to know the history, to the spiritual depth. What spirit would lead oneto portray on the outside “we were founded upon Christian principles”, and the secret rituals onthe inside consist of things you will learn as you continue to read. The adherence to polytheism,and such gods being the gods of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity—the ritual notes this—blatantly.The spirit within is the spirit the members receive when they have pledged themselves to theorganization and faithfulness to cover deception. So with emphasis on “ALPHA PHI ALPHA”men assisting you in every conceivable way, who or what is really leading you? Remember, it’seither God or the devil; there is NO in between. Jesus said either you are with Him or you areagainst Him—there is no neutral ground! “He who is not with Me is against Me…” Matthew12:30.” (Refer to the ritual quotes above this one and following this one you just read).

“Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” (Hebrews 3:15)

“Section 11. The candidate shall kneel and eat the food prepared by the gods for ALPHA PHIALPHA men. (Oysters, or cold macaroni).

Section 12. The candidate shall drink to the health of ALPHA PHI ALPHA. (Any drink notinjurious, first agreeable and then disgusting to the taste. –Two drinks.)”

In Malachi 1:6, 7 God our Father says, “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If thenI am the Father, Where is My honor? And if I am a Master, Where is My reverence? Says theLORD of hosts To you priests who despise My name. Yet you say, ‘In what way have wedespised Your name?’ 7 “You offered defiled food on My altar,….”

In the Delta section above, we see that Minister Johnson has outlined that false gods are demonsby biblical definition and the implementation of such are of demonic forces. We know byScripture that the Israelites often played the harlot against God and went after other ‘gods’; theyjoined in the acknowledgment, worship, and idol rituals (such as sacrifices) to the false gods ofthe nations they dwelt in, particularly Canaan. Since we know that whom they made themselvesharlots with were false gods, see how these same ‘gods’ are being referred to as demons inLeviticus 17:7, “They shall no more offer their sacrifices to demons, after whom they have playedthe harlot. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout their generations.”’

Now let’s read 1 Corinthians 10: 18, 20-22 and 1 Corinthians 8:7.

1 Corinthians 10:18, 20-22, “Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of thesacrifices partakers of the altar? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice theysacrifice to demons and are not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship withdemons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannotpartake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we provoke the Lord tojealousy? Are we stronger than He?

1 Corinthians 8:7 , “However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, withconsciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, beingweak, is defiled.”

Now, in every BGLO’s initiation there is a point of “demonic force take -over”. (I know thatsounded crazy and over-exaggerated when I first noted it above because we can clearly see the“positive” point in the act). Just before this in section 10, we see the candidate was instructed tooddly take steps across, to the right, to the left, backward, and then forward. Remember, whenthe demonic force ta kes over the Christian candidate is now battling a spiritual blindness and it’seasy to lose a battle when you don’t realize that you’re even in the battle. (“….their conscience,being weak, is defiled.” 1 Corinthians 8:7)

(Back to 1 Corinthians 10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; youcannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.): YOU HAVE TO….YOU MUSTunderstand the significance of Holy Communion. It is not just something you do just because youare a Christian or have been raised in the church. I’m not taking the time just now to go so deeplyinto that but I will tell you thus; the Word of the LORD declares that in 1 Corinthians 11:28-30“But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup 29 For hewho eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerningthe Lord’s body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep” that’swhy it then says in verse 31 “For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.”(Because we could accept wrongs and correct ourselves, not needing to be judged (or correctedby others) but it is my belief that every man has a portion of pride and without Christ we do not

57reject or resist that pride because that ability comes through the gaining of the Fruit of the Spiritnoted in Galatians chapter 5).

“BROUGHT TO LIGHT. All members shall say: “BEHOLD! BEHOLD!” as the candidate’sblindfold is withdrawn, and he sees “ALPHA PHI ALPHA, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD,” inlarge letters just over the altar.”

There are small things in the rituals of each of these organizations that hint and prove their rootsin masonry. First of all their idea (all of the Greek organizations) on speaking of theirorganization as “the Light” and “the Light of the world” comes from their Masonic roots;basically the founders got it from their Masonic organizations. At a glance, you could convinceyourself that an organization simply means to be a positive example to the mean world aroundthem, however, when you gain the knowledge that all of these organizations are rooted inmasonry with founders having been members, and this the members admit, then is the time toface the truth. (This is pride and idolatry. Selah). Second, just the use of the altar is taken fromthe Masonic initiation, the use of the academic robes and gavel is also taken as an idea from theMasonic affiliation. No, the robes are not a sin or sinful, but here I am speaking on the Masonicinfluence which hints to you that the obvious nature of the content is also Masonic. The greaterissue is, though I said “taken as an idea”, that when you take things from ungodly things you thenalso invite those spirits that dwell within!

OATH OF SECRECY— I know that [general] organizations have the right to and are not actuallywrong for wanting to keep some things as “members only”; hey, it’s a MEMBERSHIPorganization! But have you ever thought about why certain things are a SURE CAN NOT /

58BETTER NOT TELL when it comes to these rituals (that were founded by dark spiritual forces—supposedly taken from the idea of Christian brother/sisterhood)? Because you (members), havingbeen blinded through the spiritual sections of the ritual by the enemy, when you speak of thesethings to a born-again Christian, the enemy will be exposed with all of his tactics and he knowsthat he may lose some people. It’s as simple as that! Why else not tell! I always say “if theenemy knows your plan he can work against it” not to be faithless but that is why only very fewpeople knew of this very file while it was still in the works. So, not only is the enemy (Satan) ourenemy but we are his enemy so my quote works both ways (that is to say “if you know his planyou can work against it.”).

OATH OF ALLEGIANCE— There are some spiritual rules and rights and one right is that aslong as the person gives the enemy (or any demonic spirit(s)) permission to be in him or in hislife, the devil (or those forces) has a RIGHT to be there! James 4:7 says, “Submit to God. Resistthe devil and he will flee from you”. Now, every time we hear this people always say, “resist thedevil and he will flee”, but the scripture FIRST says, “SUBMIT TO GOD” (period) then it says toresist the devil. You can’t resist the devil until you submit to the One who has the power to helpyou resist the enemy. So, basically, Christian men have sold their souls---BUT it’s not over!And no, you haven’t actually sold your soul (per se), but you did give the enemy permission totear you down spiritually, on your “OWN will and accord to obey and support” (page 6, Oath ofAllegiance) what the enemy has his hands on—even if the mission, purpose, and principles dolook or sound good (ON PAPER).

“…….To OMEGA our chapter of sweet rest……”

It has already been noted, by Minister Hatchett and other ministers who have spoken out aboutmasonry, that masonry carries a ritual of declaring heaven as home for their deceased members.Greek letter organizations do the same. This is on the basis of membership in their organizationand good works conducted, not salvation through Jesus Christ (and this is what the big problemreally is). Heaven is mentioned but not the Name of the One Who Made and Owns it, not the Godof Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Remember, in many lodges the name of Jesus is banned!

Proving this point: “on the basis of membership”; heaven is attained by membership and workswithin simply because salvation through Christ nor the name of God is not proclaimed to gainsuch. “Good works conducted”; Heaven again is attained by the good works of a member. Thefirst stanza of the OMEGA CHAPTER Hymn says “Alpha Brothers, gather round, And make ourpraise resound, Of a brother, whose labor is now crowned. His good deeds – Heaven blest……”

Okay, so what’s the issue? First, there is the recognition that this is also sung for non-Christianmembers as well. And well, the claim of heaven without Christ is the denial of Christ and thedeclaration of His saving work as futility. Simply that. As if heaven is available without Christ.

59KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY, INC.

From www.dontgogreek.com, site of Minister Fred Hatchett:

“This fraternity’s ritual is basically a rendition of “Homer and the Iliad.” You AS A Christianmust decide the weight of such rituals.

The initiate is referred to in this ritual as a barbarian.

“Let him (the initiate) turn to the Sacred Altar, fire enflame, and barle y white cake offer in myname;”

What does the initiate do with this barley white cake?

He is asked to show his obedience by offering it over an open flame at the Delphic Shrine whichis the Altar of Apollo. This is the god that the pledge (initiate) offers their sacrifice to. (KappaAlpha Psi Ritual, 1968, page 42)

The problem for the Christian is OBVIOUS. This is IDOLATRY in practice.”

OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY, INC.

The below is from Minister Fred Hatchett’s website (www.dontgogreek.com):

“Whence come ye? From the outer chamber of darkness, into the Shekinah Light of Omega.”

Minister Hatchett’s response:

Schechinah) is the English spelling of the Hebrew language word that means the glory orradiance of God, or God's presence.

Where does OMEGA get this heavenly light from? Its founders that were Christians by titleseemed a bit afraid to exalt Jesus as Lord and God and conveniently left his name out of scripturethey used in their ritual (II Timothy 2:3- This explained on the website). How can you claim togive light when you purposely deny the Light of the World?

Why would a Christian ALLOW themselves to be told they are in darkness AGAIN?”

You know, Minister Hatchett asked a question that I probably wouldn’t have, my focus wouldhave been on this “Shekinah Light of Omega” thing that they have going on (which I’ll touch onby the leading of the Holy Spirit). If any of the “pledges” are Christians prior to going “on-line”

60then they have been set free by Christ, are walking in His Light, and are not in bondage, yetagain, set free. Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made usfree, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” 1 Corinthians 7:23, “You werebought at a price; do not become slaves of men.” (Great scriptures for addressing hazing fromthe Christian doctrine—just thought I’d add that). So his question was much more relevant than Ifirst perceived it to be.

Now, I am also realizing, especially because one could take those definitions of ‘Shekinah’ andsay that “Omega intends to be the Light of God, as scripture says we Christians are ‘the light inthe world.’” However, the passages in the ritual implies that outside of Omega one is in darknessand the Shekinah Light is of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. “From the outer chamber of darkness,into the Shekinah Light of Omega.”

PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, INC.

The three founders of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity are Leonard F. Morse, Abram Langston Taylor,and Charles I. Brown, two of which were masons. Leonard Taylor was not only a mason, butinterestingly enough, he also was a “prophet”. Abram Langston Taylor was a 33rd Degree Mason.This information can actually be found on the fraternity’s national website in the section thatgives a biography of each founder. The below, in quotations , is from the site of Minister CharlesA. Johnson III, http://johnson.jesus-messiah.com/studies/pledging-oaths.htm:

“….I have inserted the oath of a Master Mason, to be repeated by the candidate for MasterMason, the 3 rd and highest degree in the Masonic Blue lodge. Also included with this vow are thefirst two vows that one must take for the first two degrees, 1 st degree entered apprentice and 2nddegree fellow-craft.

For the sake of space, the three oaths will be combined together. The Masonic lodge is admittedby some to be the “Father of all Frats,” and boldly claims Biblical affiliation. Let us see if ourLord and Savior Jesus Christ condones a Christian being affiliated with the Masonic lodge andapproves of the rituals and practices of the Craft. Here are exerts from these heinous oaths. Imust advise that you take heed before reading further, because the content is gory and graphic.

“All this I most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear with a firm and steadfast resolution, tokeep and perform the same without any equivocation, mental reservation or secret evasion ofmind whatsoever, binding myself under a no less penalty than that of having my throat cut across,my tongue torn out by its roots (1 st degree), my left breast torn open, my heart plucked out (2 nddegree), my body severed in twain, my bowels taken from thence and burned to ashes (3 rd degree)should I ever knowingly violate this my solemn obligation as an Entered Apprentice Mason, aFellow Craft Mason, a Master Mason” (Taken from the confidential manual by Ronayne,Edmond. Handbook of Freemasonry, 1943. Chicago: Powner Co. 1973).

61Is this Christian? No, this practice is undoubtedly of the Devil. Swearing an oath givingpermission to defile and destroy body, which is supposed to be the temple of the Holy Ghost!(1Corinthians 3:16-19) Dear reader, such blasphemy and disregard for the Words of JesusChrist and the Apostle should be shunned, forsaken, and renounced by any who professChristianity. The Scripture also speaks on this wise, when it says ‘Let every one that names theName of Christ depart from iniquity (2 Timothy 2:19 KJV).’ Would Jesus Christ approve of sucha heinous blood oath?

A Mason may say to you that those words are “just symbolic.” Although history has not alwaysverified their account, because several who have left the Lodge and/or turned against it haveturned up ‘missing,’ this statement being “just symbolic” doesn’t matter. The Bible teaches thatEVERY IDLE WORD THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT OF IN THEDAY OF JUDGEMENT!......”

(Once again, that was given to Minister Charles A. Johnson, III from the Holy Spirit of God as heso wisely ministered. More can be read on his website listed above.)

It is clear that God does not approve of such affiliation, therefore, let’s examine how one can be aman of God and a prophet at that and still go on to be affiliated with masonry and then found anorganization springing from such. Now, a prophet is one whom God would speak to and throughand even allows for such a man or woman (prophetess) to be able to know some things to come.This person, a messenger of God, would have to be very intimate and close to God, therebyproving himself to be trustworthy of God (the more time you spend with Him, the more intimateHe can get with you, the more intimate you get, the more trust is built, and the more He willreveal to you and can then better use you for His glory). So, how can such a person being soclose to God and so intimate not realize the evils of these organizational affiliations? First, wemust realize that anyone now can jump up and go to seminary school with or without theordination or life calling from God. There is more that can be said, but this is not to say whetheror not this man, Leonard Taylor, was a true prophet, although we are told to “….test the spirits,whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1),but my point in this section is to shut down the argument that many “Greeks” try to use in defenseand justification for the negative aspects of their organizations by bringing out the names andtitles of certain peoples in their organizations. For example, the Reverend Dr. Martin LutherKing, Jr. (Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity), Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie (Delta Sigma ThetaSorority), and more. So, it is to prove once again that we can not justify things based on otherpeople just because of who they are or who we believe them to be—I mean, Martin Luther Kingdenied just about everything that Christianity is based upon!

“Almighty and Heavenly Father, please bless each and every man that has been selected to jointhe wondrous band of Sigma. We ask that you fill their hearts with a love for Sigma’s rich historyand an enthusiasm to help Sigma continue to grow and develop. These and other blessings we askin your name. Amen.”

62Once again, we find ourselves back at Deuteronomy 6:5, “You shall love the LORD your Godwith all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” (Also, Luke 10:27). Truthfully,there is nothing wrong with being faithful to a vision—if that vision is from God and there isnothing wrong with wanting to see the vision and grow, but again, what room do you have inyour heart for anything more if you love the LORD your God with ALL of your heart? We dorightfully love many people and things in life, but to ask God, in His name, to FILL your heartwith a love for the history of an organization? Admiration is even cool, and even love, but if yourheart is FULL of one thing, what room do you have for another thing or being to be equally fullof that love? But the problem again is that we must, as Christians, be dedicated to the growth ofthe kingdom to God and not to any organization even when it comes to church, our dedicationshould not be to the growth of the church membership but to Christian discipleship (meaning thatit doesn’t matter what church a person attends after YOU minister to them as long as they’re in afellowship that will disciple and nurture them, which means that they don’t have to attend YOURchurch as if YOU won them for YOUR church’s membership, but keeping in mind that theharvest will come in due time but that it all ultimately belongs to God anyway).

“….If you feel that you can not live up to the high ideals, standards of performance and the socialpattern that is expected of you, you may be silent when asked to speak, and you will be permittedto leave by those sacred doors as you came. If you truly desire to be a member of the CrescentClub say after me: “I do; I do; I do.”

Verily, it is fine to confirm that aspirants truly feel and know that they can and will contributewhat’s necessary and needed as a member of your organization, but this , in the Phi Beta SigmaRitual, is done through intimidation (If you feel that CAN NOT live up to the high ideals,….)through esteeming the organization (high ideals, standards of performance….) so as to remindthem of their desire and mentally encourage and affect their decision to go further with theprocess. The organization (or chapter) is not giving the candidates a clear-cut and unbiasedchance to make up their minds but are rather influencing their decision through choice of words:“….CAN NOT live up to….high ideals, standards…performance (talking to men aboutperformance?!) LEAVE….SACRED doors….If you TRULY desire…..”

“You have made a wise decision and are about to cross the threshold of the sacred portal, to thepeak, to Sigmadom.”

63I’ve noticed that a lot of BGLO rituals inform their candidates / initiates that because they havechosen this particular organization that they are wise or that they’ve made a wise decision. Whatdoes this do? Perhaps gives comfort in the initiation process being undertaken, as well as to re-inform candidates of the greatness of the organization to rekindle excitement to move forward?This also flirts with the pride of a human being; encouraging them to take pride in theadvancement of their social, mental, and demographical status, through this particularorganization.

“The Brothers of ______________________ Chapter will form a circle around the newlyinitiated Crescents, cross arms left over right, and sing softly the Crescent Chant”

Crescents are placed in the midst of a circle as the words of the chant are spoken over them as ina spell or curse of witchcraft—chanting an idolatrous chant. Although this is of serenade format,these are spiritual organizations, whether accepted or not, and this type of thing is also positivelydone in the Church not because it is godly but because it is a spiritual thing and has to do with towhat Spirit is being invited and succumbed. However, historical roots of the spiritual foundationsof these organizations show that this spiritual act is not in unison with the Holy Spirit (back tofirst sentence of this paragraph).

The Crescent Chant below:

“O Sigma Dear, Thou hast for years

Led Brave men strong and free,To thee we raise our hearts in songWe pledge our loyalty.

I choose to address this chant by doing the second segment last. In the first segment it says,“…Thou hast for years led Brave men strong and free,…” One question: HOW?!

64“To thee we raise our hearts in song We pledge our loyalty.” It seems as though society todaydoesn’t understand or realize that music is a form of worship and was created by God to giveHIM all glory, honor, and praise and the writer of this chant has the nerve to take such a source ofworship to use it to cause for other men to get the nerve to pledge their loyalty to Phi Beta Sigma!Once again, Phi Beta Sigma isn’t an organization purposed to uplift and glorify God and bring inmore soldiers to the army of the Lord and ultimately the Kingdom of God in Heaven. But just asGod created music for His glory, Satan was once the archangel in heaven named Lucifer who wasalso the “Music Director” so to speak, some even teach that when he flapped his wings, musicwould play. Since Lucifer’s expulsion from heaven he has continued to do what he always hasdone—tried to portray himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) and uses great andspiritual things for negative purposes (which, for a side note, is why our [Black] people today arebeing led astray by music). Even the lyrics of music are just as powerful as simply speakingthings—it’s still words whether saying or singing. By spiritual law, your words and actions givepermission to spiritual beings to affect your life (if you give them permission to be there they cancome and be there, if you tell them to go, in Jesus’ name (if you have that authority) then theymust leave). The men have, on their own will and accord, spoken themselves into a covenantwhich must be broken. (The demonic spiritual mockery is that the rituals of these organizationsusually consist of a part that ask you “do you of your own free will and accord…?)

In the third segment it says, “To serve thee e’er in joy or pain, In sorrow or in strife, We’ll stillproclaim, in loud refrain, Phi Beta is the life.” Now, even Peter himself, though at one pointwilling to kill for Christ, yet in a challenging situation where the predominant and majority wereagainst His Savior, decided to deny Christ. And still for us today, not many can truly say, thateven in all our joy and pain, sorrow and strife, we STILL proclaim, in LOUD REFRAIN, I lovethis Christian life! We may not give up or in, but sometimes it takes prayer that God would helpus to be still and know that HE is God, so who are we and how much nerve do we have toproclaim verbally or within our hearts that in the midst of trying times in life we would even thinkto acknowledge Phi Beta Sigma, as some source of encouragement rather than the Word of God(or God Himself)?! As I reread this, in allowing the Holy Spirit to clarify, correct, and speak Hisheart, I realize it may not be wrong or bad to look for a group of people or assembly when lifegets hard. I therefore went back to the segment of the chant and the ritual. In the paragraph youread above from the ritual, the sentence directly before the one aforementioned says “TheCrescent Chant…expresses each member’s faith and loyalty to the Club and the Club’smembers.” and again the chant says, “To serve thee e’er in joy or pain In sorrow or in strife,We’ll still proclaim, in loud refrain (exhortation) Phi Beta is the life.” So it’s about thecandidates’ willingness and declaration of faithfulness to serving Phi Beta Sigma starting withbeing faithful to staying “on-line”/in the Crescent Club. To be in sorrow and strife in life, it takesfaithfulness and a determination to conquer to still loudly proclaim (boldness, stubbornness andstrength) the greatness of a “Source”. We do this, or are supposed to express this in faithfulness toGod when our life gets challenging ‘that in the good and the bad, I won’t give up on You, I amfaithful to heart, I will serve You (Oh God, or Phi Beta Sigma) no matter what.’ This is theextent of faithfulness to Phi Beta Sigma.

Some may say that when those challenging times arise it is God whom they turn to—but duringthe intake / pledge process for Phi Beta Sigma, you did verbally profess and declare Phi BetaSigma as to whom you would loudly, in endurance and faithfulness, serve. You must be careful,because though you may not have meant these words and were spiritua lly ignorant, the Bible saysnot to be rash with your mouth or to utter anything hastily (quickly) before God. In this case itmeans ‘in His hearing’, which He hears all things, Ecclesiastes 5:2. Also, some will say “well, Ialso will turn to God” however, God does not need the help of Phi Beta Sigma and although He

65can use other people and affiliations, God is not only not recognized in this chant, but yet PhiBeta Sigma is!

I want to intro the “big part” of the response to the second segment with this: “Our souls freshfrom thy manor fill With manhood pure and true.” Here they sing in request to Sigma to fill theirsouls with manhood pure and true. Now; let’s turn back to pages 56 and 57 for a moment to readthe comments in response to the Alpha’s in itiation rite on page 4 of their ritual. It pertains to theownership, or spiritual guidance of the organization. Because all things are spiritual, or thatthings consists of causes and effects of spirituality (spiritual affects natural and natural affectsspiritual), we must consider who or what would be filling the souls of Sigma men and Sigmaaspirants. SPIRITUAL SOURCES AND FORCES WORK BEHIND NATURALTHINGS….ALL THINGS, especially organizations or gatherings of people who possess qualitiesand characteristics, rather fruits, of their spiritual nature based on their spiritual life!

Here again is the excerpt from the Alpha response section from pages 56 and 57:

“because these organizations, including, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, are truly ROOTED inmasonry, idolatry, and ungodliness, it actually belongs to and is territory of the enemy (Satan), sowhen you are being taught to be guided by (or assisted in being directed in life) an organizationbelonging to Satan or which Satan has his hands on, who or what do you think is really guidingyou? [Satan can “bless” or “reward” you too (out of his common attempts to portray himself asan angel of light and even as God). There are times that we get things in life that “seem” goodbut it wasn’t that GOD gave it to you and most times we end up finding out that it was that verything that caused you trouble naturally or spiritually. Think of pimps who have nice cars, thatseems nice doesn’t it? Do you think God is blessing them because He is pleased with what theydo to women? We have not acquired anything on our own] Because these organizations composeof men from varying faiths, and therefore varying spirits, the mixture being confusion, the counselyou receive may sometimes sound good but be wrong, or because the wisdom is not from ‘onhigh’ it may only temporary benefit you having not an understanding of what actually needs tohappen in your life or what you need to do. 1 Corinthians 2:5 states “that your faith should notbe in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” It’s good to have people who will uphold youin your time of need but if they are not filled with the Holy Spirit of God their advice and counselis not always beneficial or safe. The Bible says in Psalm 1:1, “Blessed is the man who walks notin the counsel of the ungodly, “ It then goes on to say “Nor stands in the path of sinners…..”

The point is not to imply that help, guidance or counsel from members of these organizations willdefinitely lead you to the point of murder of something of that evil nature, but that your fellowship(not purposed to lead people to salvation), yoking, and even counseling will cause you to slipmore into sin and sinful things, whether spiritually or naturally, because of your yoking withsomething that is not of God. Examples are: ungodly parties, homosexuality, brutality (hazing),conceitedness (haughty spirit; pride) “nor sits in the seat of the scornful” (Psalm 1:1), smoking,drinking, ungodly conversations, etcetera. There is a scripture that says, “Do not be deceived:“Evil company corrupts good habits.” (1 Corinthians 15:33).

We as humans who live in the natural realm only think of things in the natural sense, until wehave received true spirituality through connection with the Creator of all things. All people’sspirit is led by a spiritual S/spirit, your reception of their counsel and guidance is heavily linkedto the spiritual realm; that spirit that leads them purposes to affect those around them. WhatS/spirit are you receiving from when you receive from other people? There are false spirits. Thereare people who mean well but speak from their flesh (and fleshly impulses) which is contrary tothe Holy Spirit (Galatians 5: 17).

66Finally, he is ordered to move two steps forward and in this he is assisted in every conceivableway by ALPHA PHI ALPHA men.” Men who have given themselves to Alpha Phi Alpha. Readthe first few ritual quotes above if you must. The emphasis is not simply about your assistancebeing from great men, wise men, or helpful brotherly men, but “Alpha Phi Alpha men” (theorganization in caps). I pray you have the ears to hear (that God is giving you spiritual hearing).The point is about what spirit leads? What spirit inspired the writing of the rituals? (Masonry, ledof what spirit?). You have to know the history, to the spiritual depth. What spirit would lead oneto portray on the outside “we were founded upon Christian principles”, and the secret rituals onthe inside consist of things you will learn as you continue to read. The adherence to polytheism,and such gods being the gods of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity—the ritual notes this—blatantly.The spirit within is the spirit the members receive when they have pledged themselves to theorganization and faithfulness to cover deception. So with emphasis on “ALPHA PHI ALPHA”men assisting you in every conceivable way, who or what is really leading you? Remember, it’seither God or the devil; there is NO in between. Jesus said either you are with Him or you areagainst Him—there is no neutral ground! “He who is not with Me is against Me…” Matthew12:30.” Just by not choosing Him you have chosen His opposer (this is because you onlyconsciously work for His kingdom when you consciously accept Him as Lord (Master) andSavior, NOT just Savior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)).

Now the big part, where God automatically had the words of three particular scriptures to come tomind (“take up your cross (daily) and follow Me”, “if you are not with Me you are against Me”,and “you cannot serve two masters”). The second section says, “….we’ll follow still…” Thechant is about faithfulness regardless of life’s circumstances. I present to you these scriptures:

Matthew 16: 24-26, “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, lethim deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 “For whoever desires to save his lifewill lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 “For what profit is it to a manif he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange forhis soul?”

Luke 9:23-26, “Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him denyhimself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 “For whoever desires to save his lifewill lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 “For what profit is it to a man ifhe gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? 26 “For whoever is ashamed of Meand My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and inHis Father’s, and of the holy angels.”

Matthew 10:38, “And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.”

Matthew 12:30, “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Mescatters abroad.”

Matthew 6:24, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,or else he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

So, what will it be Sigma men? And what will it be Sigma aspirant?

67“…are waiting to be received into the mysteries of our noble Fraternity.”

Here I want to speak simply on that THERE ARE…NO…SECRETS! Once again, it is simply apulling force, a draw, an encourager to move forward into the ungodly and demonic covenant,which is labeled as “the mysteries” and it has been quite a mystery for a long time. Somemessages that I have sent through to my Yahoo! Group concerning secrets, with editions, of theseparticular organizations are as follows:

“You know I've heard from ex-greek s after they come out that there aren't really any secrets (justlike in masonry), nothing more than what you see on the outside. I mean there's secret rituals/ceremonies, however, there's not really these top notch secrets besides ceremonies like initiation,rededication, and a ceremony for deceased members. During my spiritual studies, God hasrevealed that all the "good" and “fun” things that people see on the outside are simplyOUTWARD ENTICEMENT. On the member’s behalf it is to gain more members for the fame,status, and population bragging rights of the organization. In the spiritual, the enemy’s (Satan)desire is to entangle one into idolatry, ungodliness, and compromise.”

“Well, I guess I should note before I send the "there are no secrets" message through, thatmembers do not try to entangle anyone into idolatry, ungodliness, and compromise, however,remember all things are spiritual and there are only two spiritual forces; good and evil, God andthe devil and their angels. It is spiritual deceit whereas members don't even recognize thespiritual set-up of it all, some have not even read their organization's ritual. I sent a post throughabout that before and ‘Nupe’, whether he meant to or not, really confirmed it by sayingsomething like "I was just happy to say "yo yo"". The post was about how people have their focuson joining and by the time they're in, they've got what they wanted and have not taken the timenor found it necessary to read the ritual. Sometimes as Christians if we don't consult with Godand accept His answer whether we like it or not, then we end up in things that are good to us butnot for us, spiritually that is, and because of that we find ourselves compromising because wedon't want to give it up (that's why there's a strong fight with this type of ministry even whenmany people lose the strength of their argument). So sometimes we don't realize the spiritualitybehind what we're involved in, and this can be various situations; relationships, etc., etc. I foundout that I was totally at the wrong school, but "hey, what's the big deal".....God that's a longstory. But the point is that we don't see with our natural eyes what's going on in the spiritualrealm and have a lot of nerve to [try] defend anything without seeking God and not gettingconfirmation. When I said " to entangle one into idolatry, ungodliness, and compromise" it is theplan of the enemy not the members, but once he's deceived them he can use them to deceiveothers.”

68“The claim of secrecy draws interest and curiosity. This is used to gain the interest of thestudents for prospective membership (and status of the organization). Along with this tactic areothers; outward enticement: stepping, strollin g, [ungodly] parties, popularity, the "display" ofsister/brotherhood, the deceit of "good works" (and not godly works, works that are in the nameof Jesus and for His glory- Colossians 3:17- and you will see via the file how each org actuallyoutlines in their ritual how works are done in the name of and for the glory of the organization).”

Here is part of the account from an ex-Alpha (no blatant claim of Christianity): “But I think thebiggest scam that all of 'em do is make you believe these "secrets" are real deep….I have alwayzmaintained that the secrets people are intrigued to know about in frats is that THERE SIMPLYARE NO SECRETS!! The only secrets that exist are ritualz…..So in summation, the biggest hypeabout fraternal secrets is: THERE ARE NO SECRETS!!!! Think, if I'm an outsider and I canmake the public think we're all prestigious, have a long history, get all the fly women, step thebest, do this closed handshake that no one is s'posed to see, to the average hed, "I want in, yo!What do I hafta do?!"”

So you see, as with their foundation; masonry, there are no secrets. Masonry uses this as aBLATANT LIE (concerning secrets [and mysteries] to a better life). Greek lettered organizations,starting as organizations for collegiate too young to join masonry, are babes of the Masonicsystem and they use this talk about secrets in ignorance, yet both masonry and GLOs lead one tospiritual danger that MUST be broken. God says in His Word that you cannot enter into HisPURE Glory having tied yourself to and refusing to break from ungodliness. This is because Hisholiness cannot dwell with ungodliness, not merely because He hates your sin, but also becauseof the opposing force behind your ungodliness; it’s complete opposite of His Greatness andMajesty! We have to grow in understanding, through a true relationship with God, His Personaand HOLINESS (say it slow, for real); HOLY-NESS! To fear God means to love, respect andreverence Him to the point of obedience (and to fear His wrath). When people really fear God asthey say then you wouldn’t hold onto your sin just because your watered-down pastor always tellsyou that God is going to forgive you. (I don’t mean to be rude about ‘these pastors’ but God isnot a punk who has to take mess from CREATION!) So again, there are no secrets worth yoursoul. There are none secret (in Greek lettered organizations) aside from secret ceremonies likeinitiation, rededication, and memorial services, which you already know those ceremonies existso it’s nothing new, you just didn’t know the exact contents until now. Aside from thesementioned ceremonies you may learn a handshake and a password. No offense but I must saythis: whoop-dee-dooooooo!!!!! Seriously, lol, that’s ministry too, next to God’s Wisdom thedevil’s cunningness is ignorance and stupidity and we THANK GOD for His Love and desire toopen our spiritual eyes. Let the Church say HALLELUYAH!!!!

I will inform you, however in expounding, that I have seen a pattern in the sororities’ andfraternities’ rituals that the secrets you learn are the pledge motto, (song-for some this is noted asa ‘secret’), colors, and flower, and between each you are asked if you want to know more ‘of themysteries and secrets’. When you become a member, at the end of your initiation there may be asecret motto and a handshake and or method of identifying members, however, people aredeceived into believing that there are some deep mysteries involved. The “secrets” of these andother organizations are obviously common to any sister/brotherhood organization.

69“It was a balmy clear evening when a weary Greek traveler, such as you, started on a journeyacross the Burning Sands on his way to the dwelling place of the gods….”

In the Delta section above, we see that Minister Johnson has outlined that false gods are demonsby biblical definition and the implementation of such are of demonic forces. In the Alpha sectionabove I noted 1 Corinthians 10: 18, 20-22 and 1 Corinthians 8:7. In 1 Corinthians 10:20 and 21Paul notes that idols (as false gods) are demons. Here, the Sigma brothers tell a story to the‘Crescents’ (pledges of Phi Beta Sigma), speaking of the pledges as a Greek travele r, symbolizingthat they are those who are seeking to find home in ‘Sigma Land’, needing to cross the ‘BurningSands’ (make it through the pledge process, which may include hazing), as said, to find and attain‘Sigma Land’. Now see the cunningness of the enemy; I think on the yahoo group I’ve noted thatmany times many of the members don’t even know how they are being used of the enemy. Herethey are indirectly used to tell the pledges that where you are going is the DWELLING PLACEof the ‘gods’, bluntly put; ‘THE DWELLING PLACE OF DEMONS’. Members, with Godlylove, concern, and passion, dears, don’t get upset, I’ve noted that many members, especiallyChristians, do not blatantly lead others astray, but by ignorance (which is not the same asstupidity) of spiritual things and though with experience of ‘church’ and knowledge of God’sWord, they yet lack a growing and productive relationship with God, understanding andconscience application of His Word, they so also submit themselves to the lordship of theadversary, even if not intentional. By James 1:19, I pray you be quick to hear, slow to speak, andslow to wrath (anger), this (James 1:19) is wisdom and humility. Now, please see 2 Timothy2:26!!!!!!!!!!!

“He was lead by the gods to a place called Death Valley where he was shown the bones of theunfit who knew not the meaning of Brotherhood…..”

“Now I ask you, members of the Court, “Do such persons deserve to live?” “Should such a onebe called a brother?” “Would such a man be true to Sigma, attend meetings, pay dues or sing ofSigma everywhere?” (THE COURT, IN SYMPATHETIC TURMOIL DURING THE SAD STORY,CRIES LOUDLY “NO!!”)

‘….sing of Sigma everywhere?” 1 Timothy 2:8, “….men pray everywhere, lifting up holyhands…” I know one (1 Tim. 2:8) is speaking of singing while the other (the ritual) is speakingof praying but the part I see is the idea of public acknowledgement in praise, everywhere.

70As a side note and to follow the story and the point of the story; remember on page 3 of this ritualwhere the Brothers are to encourage the pledges to ‘stick with it’ by telling them of how theymade such a wise decision? This was the response to that part: “I’ve noticed that a lot of BGLOrituals inform their candidates / initiates that because they have chosen this particularorganization that they are wise or that they’ve made a wise decision. What does this do?Perhaps gives comfort in the initiation process being undertaken, as well as to re-informcandidates of the greatness of the organization to rekindle excitement to move forward? This alsoflirts with the pride of a human being; encouraging them to take pride in the advancement of theirsocial, mental, and demographical status, through this particular organization.” (On page 10 italso notes, “Sires (Sir), you have been chosen from the multitude for honor in the PHI BETASIGMA FRATERNITY, INC. Your activities, your personal conduct and your scholarship havebeen under the observation of the SIGMA men who have judged you worthy to walk in theirmidst.” Observing the conduct of the candidates is not an issue but pride is blatant in thisstatement; ‘judge you worthy to walk in their midst’). First note that what they want to encouragethe candidates to do while in fraternal membership, they note those things as which the ‘unfit’would not do (this is simple social psychology, which is not always a bad thing, yet in this case itobviously is); “Would such a man be true to Sigma, attend meetings, pay dues or sing of Sigmaeverywhere?” So, again, after this aspect mentioned above from page 8, the ‘Deputy’ then goeson to say: “Even their bones cry no! But you – you are indeed different. You are a scholar. Youknow the meaning of Brotherhood and Service. Are you willing then to be a Brother? (TheCandidates answer “YES”.) (Underlining for emphasis is in the actual Ritual). Now, payattention to the next excerpt.

”….where the greater gods were supposed to live under their ruler, Zeus. It was in thesemountains that our founding Brothers became Greek….”

Greater ‘gods’…..with a lower case “g” right? J

When, on August 31, 2007, God revealed to me the understanding of the part of the ritual on page7 of their Ritual book, page 71 of this file , when I got to this part I’ve realized that the devil [asthe spirit who led the writing of the ritual] is subtly telling the story to the aspirants of how hecunned them; the founders of Greek [lettered] organizations. Isn’t there a scripture that says thathe makes mockery of the saints?!!! The Bible says, as happened in the beginning of the Book ofJob, that Satan who is the accuser of the Brethren likes to make mockery of us (Revelation 12:10and Zechariah 3:1). At this point of the ritual I realize he is actually mocking in an “in yo’ face!”type of way (which means, he’s probably laughing). Check out what he is saying:

I first had to, while praying, get the ritual back out to re-read and grasp the greater context (theseritual excerpts were previously typed). I’m going to start back over at the beginning of the storyon page seven up to this part of the story on page 8 which is continued directly after the Deputyemphasizes to the pledges of how ‘worthy’ and ‘different’ they are leading to asking them are

71they willing to join ‘the Brotherhood’. I’m going to highlight and underline some parts and I’llthen make some notations on some things.

“It was a balmy clear evening when a weary Greek traveler, such as you, started on a journeyacross the Burning Sands on his way to the dwelling place of the gods. A Crescent of the Moon,symbolic of the Crescent Club, was hanging lazily in the Eastern sky. The weary Greek stopped tocontemplate the task before him as he approached the shore of the Dead Sea. Despite hisconcern, the traveler had no trouble crossing the sea because its water contained so much saltand the specific gravity was such that not more than one-half of his body would submerge. Hesuccessfully crossed the Dead Sea.

He was lead by the gods to a place called Death Valley where he was shown the bones of the unfitwho knew not the meaning of Brotherhood…………

Our traveler was next brought to the foothills of Mt. Olympus in Northeastern Greece, where thegreater gods were supposed to live under their ruler Zeus. It was in these mountains that ourfounding Brothers became Greek.”

The sentence following the above excerpt from the ritual ends as “you are also now part Greek.The process is occurring even as you stand before me.” (page 8) Here is an admitting of thetransition and notation of the development of spiritual blindness, so far as to even say “theprocess is occurring even as you stand before me.”

Now, in the first paragraph of this story it notes that ‘the traveler’ started on a journey across theBurning Sands on his way to the dwelling place of the gods, which we noted by biblical definitionthis is translated from cunning mystery or secrecy to mean ‘he was on his way to the dwellingplace of demons’. As I’m trying to move forward with my point, God’s Wisdom shows that thispart needs to come in before I conclude the point, for effectiveness and edification, what came tomind is the reminder of Psalm 91:1, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shallabide under the shadow of the Almighty.” If we are dwelling in the secret place of the MostHigh, then even when evil approaches us, when we are tempted and offered the alternatives of theenemy, we will abide under the SHADOW of the Almighty. If one is on a journey to thedwelling place of demons he has already left the dwelling place of the Most High God andbecause this (dwelling place) is the ‘secret place’ no demons may enter. Therefore, we come toJames 1: 14,15, “But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, bringsforth death.” The devil plays on our ungodly, fleshly desires, entices us, we succumb totemptation, leave the shadow of the Almighty, and are led to spiritual death. Let’s read on.

It then goes on to say quite a bit “the weary Greek stopped to contemplate the task before him ashe approached the shore of the Dead Sea”. CONVICTION; (many pledges and ex-pledges havenoted they felt uncomfortable with the occult feel of the atmosphere and ritual ceremonies and orthe hazing). Now, the sad part follows: “DESPITE HIS CONCERN, the traveler had no troublecrossing the sea….” No spiritual trouble because of compromise. We already noted above,probably in the AKA section, that once we submit to ungodly [spirits and] leading we loseconviction; compromise leads to spiritual draining and death; a lack of [spiritual] wisdom,strength, and power. Now, in order to stop and contemplate this journey the traveler must havealready felt convicted, yet he was still on the journey. Hear Satan’s mockery story; “the WEARYtraveler”. Hmmm….compromise leads to lack of spiritual strength because we submit to theflesh and not the [Holy] Spirit in the midst of spiritual warfare! It ends the first paragraph bysaying “He successfully crossed the Dead Sea.”! [because of compromise] And thereby attained

72official spiritual death, no longer ‘at the shore’ but residing in the land; Death Valley. ‘BUT’ saysyou, “but I see him / her in church, etc. etc.” Well, either of two things: 1) God is compassionateon their ignorance because underneath such they truly desired Him but did not deeply considertheir wrongs by lack of understanding and God is still drawing them to His Truth (the fruit will beacceptance of His Truth, repentance, and growth OR 2) they’re practicing religion and tradition;emotionalism, and it’s as simple as that. (not to be prideful or mean, it’s just that withunderstanding of God’s work and ways we see that as with any sin that one may still be in, eitherGod is pulling you out or you’re playing ‘church’).

Now, the next things that I’m feeling, as I again thought I was finished, is this part that says thatthe traveler was brought to a place (Mt. Olympus in Northeastern Greece) where the greater godswere supposed to live under their ruler, Zeus. WHY….even acknowledge first, a false deity,then, a false deity that is named as the supreme god of the other false gods, and lastly in a storythat mentions being under his rule???? Anyhow, if spiritually we have come to know that thecandidate is now spiritually entered into a place where demons dwell and that false gods aredemons, we know that these demons also have a supreme ruler. In the book of Revelation (12:7-11, Isaiah 14:12-17 / 3-23, Ezekiel 28:11-19) we find the story of Lucifer, archangel at the time,starting a war because of the pride to take the place of the God of Abraham, Issac, and Israel(Jacob). He thus was kicked out but convinced one-third of a great number of angels to comewith him that they may build their own kingdom and he would be their new god; they are thefallen angels (Satan and his angels), he is the devil and they are demons. Now if these false godsare demons, but the gods have a supreme ruler, in Greekdom, who is the supreme ruler? Yes, youare right. It’s Satan. He rules ungodliness and caters to the flesh that wars against the Spirit(Galatians 5:16, 17). However, note that the “greater gods” are strong demons set in place to ruleeach organization while under the rulin g and guidance of their “Zeus” who is Satan. He is theone who guides all ungodliness in any matter of life, with demons under his rule.

“To thee we raise our hearts in song We pledge our loyalty…..To serve thee e’er in joy or painIn sorrow or in strife, We’ll still proclaim, in loud refrain, Phi Beta is the life.”

See, this is where people are fooled (made ignorant). “You” walk around with this mindset and“line” that you (or ‘they’) serve the community but in this ritual, The Crescent Chant, you sing(form of worship) that you serve the organization. However, in actuality it is the roots of theorganization that you serve, because the organization is the people , which the organization doesnot claim to serve itself (as in “entity”) but rather the people (as in ‘non members’), yet, (are yougetting this?) the song is noting that you serve “thee” (what “thee” are you serving if you weretold that you serve ‘the people’, as in the community and non-members, who, might I add, are notpresent to be sung to [“thee”]?)

If you pay attention the “thee” is the organization but again….what is the root? Yes, masonry.And who is the father of masonry? (From an article >>>) “This is what Pike had to say, "To thecrowd we must say: we worship a God, but it is the God one adores without superstition. To you,

73Sovereign Grand Inspector's General, we say this, that you may repeat it to th e brethren of the32nd, 31st and 30th degrees: all of us initiates of the high degrees should maintain the Masonicreligion in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay...and hispriests calumniate him? Yes, Lucifer is God." A. Lantoine, a mason, historian and openlydeclared being an atheist, said in the excerpt, Lettre au Souverain Pontife, "So much the better, Isay. Possessing critical and inquisitive minds, we are the servants of Satan. You, the guardians oftruth, are the servants of God. These two complement one another. Each needs each other." Afterthis quote, Lantoine later said he didn't use the right term when describing the masonic sect. Hesaid, "I should have said servants of Lucifer." (You can also find this quote athttp://www.luciferlink.org/ftaxil.htm and simply type in the name ‘Albert Pike’ and ‘Lucifer’).

Quoting a (current ?—no note of him denouncing) member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity(http://forums.crosswalk.com/m_508045/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#582836): “Having heard songs,rituals, etc. etc. from other fraternities and sororities, I am very certain that similar languagelikely exists in all of their rituals-though most members (including myself at the time) pay verylittle attention to the substance of the oath as they choose to write off all that they disagree withas "mere words". To be honest, I didn't fully understand the full impact of the "mere words" Ipromised until I looked back at them clearly "in the light of day" away from the euphoria andtemptation of becoming something I so longed to be at the time. I'm quite convinced that had Itaken the same sober look at them that I would today, I would have found issue with them. I saythis simply because allowed myself to be "suckered in".”

So, we see the issue is that we (1) don’t pay attention to what’s being said (2) don’t pay attentionto what we’re saying and (3) do not believe that the words have meaning (however, GOD’sWord says that there is power in the tongue and this bears witness to the strongholds). We’re stillnot finished with this part.

Basically, this entire part of the Crescent Chant is idolatrous. Please see pages 65-68. In a book,very much so off of this topic, by a great pastor I know, he says “if Black is the root, then so isthe fruit”. So I say to you, “if the worship and honor of Satan is at the root, then the worship andhonor of Satan is the fruit” Though this worship or honor is seemingly indirectly or not so blatant,unconsciously , it yet exists because of disobedience. The fact of this worship is also because allsin is honorable unto Satan as he knows that it hurts and offends God. “For rebellion is as thesin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry…..” (1 Samuel 15:23).

“But Sigma Has Outlawed the Warring Greeks and is now under the protection of Pallas Athena,the Goddess of Wisdom, Art, and Industrie s!!”

(Sigh). My Brothers in Christ Jesus, my Brothers….this is so blatantly wrong and such an insultto and before God. This is not hidden, my Brothers. Sit quietly and imagine yourself in theThrone Room of YAHWEH God. Sit in quiet, humble meditation of His Glory, imagining Hisscent, fearing to envision His actual appearance so as not to insult His true beauty, and in that,truly perceive in your heart….how….YOUR GOD…FEEEEELLS….about this…..”under the

74protection of Pallas Athena,” “the Goddess of Wisdom”, “the Goddess of Art andIndustries”….with exclamation marks!!! OH BROTHERS…..Many of you have chosen to joinyour organization as the tradition of many men before you, your family and famed men. TheWord of the LORD says, “For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.”(Deuteronomy 4:24). God loves unworthy man so much that He is jealous when we worship othergods but the Word continues on in telling us not to take His love and mercy for granted because“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31). God took the timeto conceive and raise a wise and sinless Man all that after 33 years of life He would be ridiculed,hated, and crucified ….JUST….because He wanted to restore His relationship with YOU. Selah(stop and meditate). GOD says, “Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walkin My ways!” (Psalm 81:13). You sit there, you sit there in His presence, I plead you now in loveand compassion, hear me…..how do you feel in your spirit? God doesn’t just get angry or happy,God gets sad, He hurts, we GRIEVE….HIS….SPIRIT. How bad is it to GRIEVE someone’sSPIRIT?!!!! We don’t like pain but how much do we care about our very God not only being hurtbut being hurt by us???!!!!!!! (Before I type I pray that God would speak to me and through meHis very heart and right before I typed in response to this particular statement, I hadn’t beenworking on this file in awhile and I just wasn’t feeling the Spirit and I fear to type without God’sdirection so I’m telling you, [finally typing] I felt His sad heart, His love and compassion, and Hisdesire for you to hear Him, hear His heart; lay your desires down for a second to give Him achance to reveal to you HIS Truth if you do not believe this ministry. God is there. Listen.)

SELAH

From page 71-76, specifically page 76, you have allowed yourself to come under the rule of“Athena” or whatever is the true name of the demon specifically assigned to rule the entity called“Phi Beta Sigma”, a Brotherhood of Satan (we’re talking spiritual. Don’t get offended. Ephesians6:11, 12. There’s only two spiritual forces and families and those assemblies on earth complimentand build one or the other).

“And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you willserve, whether the gods which your fathers served…..” and “Now therefore,” he said, “put awaythe foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD God of Israel.”(Joshua 24:15, 23). GOD loves you Brothers.

“Ours is a real brotherhood…..It is a spiritual fellowship that binds us in all activities alonglife’s narrow pathway.”

There is only ONE real and true Brotherhood and that is that of the fellowship of Christ(spiritual; an acceptance of Christ as Lord and Messiah and a lifestyle supporting such by whichyou are adopted into the family of God (John 1:11-13 and James 2:18-20, 26) and no longermerely His creation). And again, “all things are spiritually influenced and there are only two

75spiritual forces: good and evil; God and His angels and the devil and his (fallen) angels”. So ifthere’s only two spiritual forces, both offering a side to choose, and a family to partake of (God;John 1:12, Romans 8:14, and John 8:41 versus Satan; John 8:43, 44, 47 and John 10:26), thenthe question is: what brotherhood are they speaking of? Remember, there is first spiritualblindness then self-deception by denial and rejection of truth. So many do not understand whatthey are affiliated with and continue to remind themselves of the “good” reasons as to why theirorganization was founded, and ignore the spirit that was taken on as a result of what theorganization was patterned after. So because many do not understand, this is not to accuse peopleof purposely partaking in ungodliness and causing others to do the same—on purpose, but it is thereality of what happens by spiritual blindness (which, by the way, could be detoured by prayerand acceptance of God’s answer!). And furthermore, the point is to explain to you what is goingon in the spiritual realm concerning your organization (or organization that you wish to join) notto say that you purposefully know this and keep it secret.

“The ideal of Scholarship should ever be kept uppermost in your mind so that you may be abeacon light among men, pointing out the Truth, the Light and the Way.”

They never specifically point out who or what the Truth, the Light, or the Way is and because ofsuch this can be taken as indirectly noting the organization as the Truth, the Light, and the Way orit can be taken as compromise whereas they don’t get specific and note the Truth, Light, and Wayas Jesus because of the non-Christian members (again, proving and embracing unequal yokes).However, it can NOT be taken as if they are speaking of Jesus because it is not noted. What wemust keep in mind is that all of these organizations are rooted in masonry, having ritualspatterned after masonry, and masonry always notes the organization as “the light”. Therefore,since they do not note who or what this light (truth and way) is then it is not purposed to bespecific, it is an open door (compromise for non-Christian members’ comfortableness), and mayindirectly and purposefully not note Christ (doesn’t intend to do so because it is not speaking ofHim). (If it is Christ then not only should it be noted, but it would be boldly noted). John 14:6,“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father exceptthrough Me.” John 8:12, “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world.He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

“…but to impress upon you the seriousness of your new relationship. You must keep everburning in your heart the essence of this initiation and ever remember that we are bound togetherby a triple cord of love in Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service.”

76Sounds good doesn’t it? “BOUND together by a TRIPLE cord of love in….” I think it shouldhave said, “we are bound together by a triple cord of love through Brotherhood, Scholarship, andService IN CHRIST” but because this is not a “religious organization” and not all members,although bound together, are Christian, they can’t go there because that would be lying. Theproblem is not that they did not add “in Christ”, neither is it a problem that their organization isnot a religious organization, but that in all of this, they, particularly the Christians, areBOUND…..TOGETHER by a TRIPLE cord…., to ALL of the members, Christian or NOT!Again, so what’s the problem? Simply, an UNEQUAL YOKE! (Oh, and they basically profess,admit, and confirm that there is a yoke…BOUND).—The word “yoke” doesn’t have to be used toimply that there is a yoking, but rather other words can be used to characterize or identify a yoke).See 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 and the file on the website, www.holyspiritspeak.com, titled “DefiningYokes”.

“This organization was formed with the great idea of linking us together in one great,unbreakable bond of fellowship….”

Every vision and idea given to man is spiritually influenced, but this does not mean that suchvisions may automatically be considered ‘of God’. The devil is quite deceiving enough to makecults and Satanists organizations look positive by the community service they do and theirdonating monies to where it may be needed when initially and deep in their roots are evilintentions and foundations, but Christians who ONLY go to church and do not commune withGod on a daily basis are deceived. The Bible tells us that in the last days even the elect would bedeceived. Now this portion of the ritual sounds good, but I wonder whose idea was it really; whatspiritual FORCE influenced it?—think about the founders and who and what they were; weretheir lifestyles already deceiving? (This does not mean that they were trying to be deceiving butsometimes the person coming across as deceiving may themselves be deceived). Remember, theenemy can take anything bad and make it look good and anything can look and seem good to us ifit contains or offers what we want, which is the “cover up”.

“I believe in the principles of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and my loyalty to these transcendsall personal responsibility. I believe that I should be a credit to the organization, and that Ishould, at all times, safeguard its reputation….”

This is the beginning of the Sigma Creed. Now, do you consider the Christian duty a personalresponsibility yet a family (God-Family) effort and responsibility? It’d be quite easy to say “no”(if a member of Phi Beta Sigma) because you’d be admitting something that could bring about

77conviction and ultimately challenge your membership in the organization as aChristian…..wouldn’t it? Many have already admitted to this; on many internet groups likestophazing.org and guestbooks on sites like Minister Hatchett’s, the responses from Greeks to thiscorrection has been “the Christian walk is a personal walk”. Right? Remember? So, we believethat each Christian has a personal relationship with God and responsibility as a whole and as anindividual based on what God has called him or her to do, and that part of our success in thisChristian walk is to bear the Spiritual fruit of self-control and be responsible enough to waraccording to the spiritual weapons of our warfare and not blame everything on Satan right? Sothis means our personal spiritual success in our walk with God is a responsibility that we take onto be sincerely faithful and obey His teachings. So, what this all boils down to is “compromise”.First, let me note what a ‘creed’ is; ‘A formal statement of religious belief; a confession of faith.2 A system of belief, principles, or opinions” (The American Heritage College Dictionary, FourthEdition, Houghton Mifflin, page 334). For a Christian (because remember, this is first andforemost ministry to Christians) to pronounce such a CREED, which is highly against hiscommitment to His FATHER and Creator in Heaven, is adultery (the Creed) as spoken in theBook of Revelation. It is adulterous and idolatrous. Basically, this means that one is unfaithful [toGod]. Now, we must, as concerned Christians (meaning that we care), concerned about our truespirit ual state versus what we’d like to be true, look at what the Scriptures say; we must turn toMatthew 7:21-23 and Revelation 18:4. The Matthew passage speaks about not just ‘calling out’to God through prayer and talking the talk but doing the will of the Father. The Revelationpassage says, “….Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive ofher plagues.” Now, we are reminded in Revelation 21 verses 7 and 8 of the works of the fleshnoted in Galatians 5:19-21 and both passages remind us that those who live these things(especially consciously, Paul says the receipt is worse for them!) will not inherit the kingdom ofGod and furthermore “shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone,…”(Revelation 21:8). I’ll take this time to speak on some things that pastors like to butter up; manyhave been told that their sins are okay simply because God is forgiving. There are so many storiesin the Bible that ministers to you that God is loving and merciful but He must show you who’sboss and discipline you to teach you to respect the King, be obedient, have self-control, and befaithful. God has wiped out nations, killed men (Genesis 7, Genesis 19, Genesis 38:7 and more)and I’m not saying God will kill you (because of Christ there is mercy for all), but simply that Heis NOT some, as my father says, ‘cholesterol sugar-daddy in the sky’ who goes by your rules; HERULES! Now, to back the ministry about people going to hell for sinning as a lifestyle,consciously, even though the Bible already says it, because Greeks have already disputed it, I’llleave you this scripture, “And also, IF ANYONE COMPETES IN ATHLETICS, HE IS NOTCROWNED UNLESS HE COMPETES ACCORDING TO THE RULES.” (2 Timothy 2:5).

“…that I should, at all times, safeguard its reputation….” Again, we see the issue of defendingungodliness regardless of truth.

“Please kneel, and when the marshal gives you an indication, place your left hand on the HolyBible, raise your right hand and repeat after me:

“In the presence of Almighty God/ and the members of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity/ Ido solemnly swear or affirm/ that I will never divulge any secret/ betray any trust or bring reproach/ upon the name and honor of this Fraternity/by committing any unworthy deed or act / So Help Me God/

You know, it’s kind of funny how Masons, although disgrace and forbid the name of Jesus intheir temples or halls, use the Holy Bible for you to make an ungodly or idolatrous oath; this isonce again the mockery of Satan and your participation in mocking the Savior and HisTestimony; the Word (the Holy Bible). Here is an organization, rooted in masonry (sadly enoughsome don’t realize or know it and some just won’t admit it), patterning themselves after such—this is “influence” from experience [on the part of the founders (even if they didn’t incorporatesuch, the spiritual backing and influence has been passed down)]. So, you’re putting your handon the Bible to make an oath…..let’s look at the oath: “that I will never…..betray any trust orbring reproach upon the name and honor of this Fraternity….” That’s not necessarily a bad thing,but in our every day actions and deeds toward others (especially in communications to others assalt and examples) do we think about this same thing toward God? Remember, God is first in ourlife and then if an organization supports our spiritual beliefs, our relationship with God, and ourresponsibilities to God (and PBS says commitment to them transcend ALL responsibilities), thenit may be placed on a priorities list, but we’re not talking about an organization that does greatthings yet does it for the glory of God (“only what you do for Christ will last”). Matthew 7:21-23! Yet again, the strive to “do right” is to not bring reproach upon the name of this Brotherhood(Phi Beta Sigma), not the Brotherhood through Christ, because Sigma as a whole doesn’t claimChrist and if so, then no one would be excluded from becoming a ‘Brother’ based upon worldlystandards and statistics but rather one’s chosen g/God.

“These colors signify that a loyal SIGMA will always remain true to the Fraternity’s ideals andmaintain purity of character in order not to bring reproach upon its name and honor bycommitting any unworthy deed or act.”

This also deals with glory and honor of the organization; working for the organization, goodworks / deeds done for the glory of the organization. “and maintain purity of character in ordernot to bring reproach upon its (Phi Beta Sigma’s) name and honor by committing any unworthydeed or act.” (By the way, members (of all nine organizations) embrace these ideals because it isnot only the organization getting glory but the members themselves (seeing that they make up theorganization; without the members there is no organization)). Again, as noted above in thesorority’s rituals, compare this to Matthew 5:16 and Philippians 2:15).

“The three Greek letters making up the name of the Fraternity have the following secret meaning(Justice speaks in a hushed tone): “Phile, Boule, Schole, Phi Beta Sigma.” Phi is forBrotherhood, Beta is for Service and Sigma is for Scholarship.”

The so-called secret meaning of their Greek letters will be spoken on later.

IOTA PHI THETA FRATERNITY, INC.

* IOTA PHI LAMBDA SORORITY, INC.

Iota Phi Lambda is a predominantly Black business sorority founded June 1, 1929 by aChicagoan, Lola M. Parker. By adding this organization, which is not a part of the NPHC(National Pan-Hellenic Council), I purpose to show you how the enemy is working within secularorganizations. Just as the Bible is proven as Truth by the mere fact that it was written in differenttime periods, by different persons, who did not know each other, yet wrote and proclaimed thesame things, so also do we see this here with these organizations. There are some vastsimilarities of all of these secular Greek letter organizations also in comparison to masonry. Isn’tit funny how they never sat down at the same table to see what the other was writing that theymay have like rituals? (Just like with the Bible….how’d that happen?). See, it was a Spirit (theHoly Spirit) that inspired men to write the things we live by today from the Holy Bible and I amconvinced that for such a thing to happen again here, a spirit, either in unison or contradictionwith the Holy Spirit, has worked the same in these organizations. As you read the information onIota Phi Lambda Sorority, remember how Greek letter organizations were birthed from masonryand how at least one founder from each of the sororities and fraternities (particularly of NPHC)participated in masonry, and how those who are members of both a Masonic organization and aGreek letter organization will testify to “dejavu”, and again, that none of them sat at the sametable to create their rituals. Remember, there are only two forces in this world (God and thedevil) and all things are spiritual!

First of all a “creed” is “A formal statement of religious belief; a confession of faith. 2 A systemof belief, principles, or opinions” (The American Heritage College Dictionary, Fourth Edition,Houghton Mifflin, page 334). I’ll speak on the “it’s just symbolism” thing in a second. Butbefore anyone says to oneself, “this statement deals with confessing faithfulness to the ideals ofthe organization—to be a committed member”, (that’s understandable —for a true Christianorganization!) But know this: form of religion, contents of these rituals being idolatrous, devil’sway of getting praise and true and committed followers. 2 Timothy 2:26, “and that they maycome to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do hiswill.” The opening statement of this sorority’s CREED is of religious format.

80Iota Phi Lambda Sorority’s Pledge of Sisterhood—“I pledge myself to my Sorority, Iota PhiLambda, to be true to its code, obey its rulings,….I shall so live that my life will reflect creditupon my Sorority; to it, I will give my best; for it, I will always live my best.”

“Where souls immortal are” I’ve been hearing this a lot with sororities and fraternities and I’vehad to deeply ponder and pray and have come to the conclusion that “oh God, are you reallygoing to have me to type that?” “We are inspired to reach the heights where souls immortal are.”(long sigh)…..check this out: “we are inspired (to reach the heights)” basically by the“greatness” of the organization and all that has been attained by and through it. Before I go on Iwant to teach to some and remind others that the enemy can “bless” you also; when you live forhim there is an exchange, you get temporary “reward(s)” for your eternal soul (Matthew16:26)—sell drugs, get money….sell your body, get money…do this, do that, be popular, etc. etc.A reason as to why members don’t want to let go of their organizations after hearing the messageof Ephesians 5:11 is as explained by the father of a badly treated member of Delta Sigma Thetawho later spoke up about being hazed:

“I have watched with interest some of the exchanges that have taken place on this site. I see somefamiliar patterns from responses to my own now defunct site where I challenged the principles ofone particular BGLO. No doubt you can guess which one.

It seems to me that those who question the purpose of the site are looking to shift the focus awayfrom the deficiencies of their organizations and consequently themselves since their identities areheavily vested in them.

All human beings have three basic needs:

1. To be loved2. To be secure3. To be significant

The problem comes from having these basic needs met outside of the body of Christ.Consequently, you are now set up for a conflict with the Gospel. When you tell someone thatthere is a problem with the things that make them feel loved, secure, and significant, the naturalresponse is to question your truthfulness and your motivation.”

So basically, members receive things in exchange for membership: popularity, status, friendship,and more and this they are inspired by (to continue in membership, which is why they seeminglycan’t let go—the devil is a liar!)….Now onto the next part: “(to reach the heights) where soulsimmortal are” “where souls immortal are”, basically, what I have received is that theirinspiration…to continue in such affiliation (spiritually) will lead to HELL. Refer to Galatians

815:19-21 (esp. vs. 21) and Revelation 21:8…..where souls immortal are; there are two placeswhere souls are immortal (in the sense of never ending) : heaven and hell, the things spoken of inthese rituals being spiritually influenced are not influenced by the Holy Spirit and there are onlytwo forces! Will one simply go to hell for being affiliated, though spiritually yoked, with theseorganizations? I’ll say this: you are held accountable for what you know, if one does not knowthat this is wrong yet claim Christ and are sincerely trying to live for Him then “I” (emphasis onsuch) would say “no”, HOWEVER, if YOU are reading this then you have NO excuse and AREaccountable for what you DO know! Also, think of the fact that if this situation were not that bigand important to God then why does He have so many people working in this ministry? (writingbooks, doing seminars, creating websites and internet groups, calling His people out, and manyare denouncing back to back—all by the commandment of God the Holy Spirit)—there MUST besomething about it that God has an issue with!, something with a consequence(s)

Just to further comment on the Galatians 5 insert, on the yahoo group on the page responding toan aspirant’s question about “are GLO members go to hell?” I mentioned that what first came tomind was Galatians 5 and that each of the works of the flesh has been manifested in the insides ofthe organizations whether through national rituals or chapter hang-outs. We know the stories ofthe back-biting, the women sleeping with each others’ boyfriends, the cliques, the drinking, thefornication, the non-heterosexuality, the verbal and physical fighting, the hatred, the competitionamong members of the same and opposing organizations, the idolatry, the compromise, andunequal yokes, and more and it is no coincidence that these things that have all taken place in the“hidden” aspects of Greek life are also listed in Galatians 5 as “the works of the flesh” (vs. 19-21). (See 2 Timothy 2:26).

* DELTA RHO SORORITY, INC.

Delta Rho Sorority is a professional women’s sorority founded and incorporated in 2004. I donot have the rituals for Delta Rho Sorority (a sorority with a desire to mimic Delta Sigma ThetaSorority; you’ll see the similarities on their website: www.deltarhosorority.org), but they alsohave founder(s) who are members of the Order of the Eastern Star. You cannot join in unionswith those who are in unions with false gods and goddesses, fallen angels, or demonic spiritsbecause by your joining in with the persons you then also come into spiritual fellowship with thedemons and spiritual forces that they have submitted unto, because by these organizations arecovenants and covenants are spiritual (this is also why soul ties through sex out of God’s coveringis dangerous; there’s a joining of spirits!!).

82“We’ve ne’er forgotten you” will be spoken on later (HERE IT IS): Psalm 50:22, “Nowconsider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver:Whoever offers praises to Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvationof God.” The part that it’s saying for you to consider is this: “And to him who orders his conductaright I will show the salvation of God.” But it’s telling you to consider this or else (“Lest”) “Itear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver” then the colon (:) tells you what it is for you toconsider; once again you are left with free will but there is a consequence. I now also present toyou Hebrews 10:31, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” AndDeuteronomy 32:39, “Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and Imake alive; I wound and I heal; Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.” (Side Note:Sorry that I’ve presented scriptures that tear down our unscriptural mindset of some “soft, sugar-coated / Sugar-Daddy in the Sky type God”; teachings that helps us to be disobedient and onlycome to God and get holy when we’re in need<< that was just an extra teaching to any Christianreading not specifically to GLO members).

Psalm 50:22 is reiterated by Deuteronomy 32:18, “Of the Rock who begot you, you areunmindful, And have forgotten the God who fathered you.” It then goes on with the consequence/punishment Deuteronomy 32:19, “And when the LORD saw it, He spurned them, Because of theprovocation of His sons and His daughters.” Let’s look at Deuteronomy 32:19 again, “…..Hespurned them, Because of the provocation of His sons and daughters.” What does that mean?Provocation is “the act of provoking or inciting. 2. Something that provokes.” Lord, have mercy!Do I need to explain this? He says (slightly paraphrasing) you were unmindful of the God whoFATHERED you and because you provoke His sons and daughters He will spurn you. Isn’t thatwhat it says? (Unmindful of His Word and ways, provoking His children to desire and lust forworldly pleasures through false advertisement then initiating them into blindness and darkness).Basically, you (your organization (it’s rituals) and your participation in it) causes for His childrento: (1) be deceived (deception by lies from your own self-deception from denial of truth; “there isnothing contradicting in our rituals to the Bible and Christianity”), (2) to be worldly (by what theorganization offers; good works alone do not make one a Christian and a Christian doing goodworks is nothing if the motives and purpose have nothing to do with Christ but rather because youare a member of your organization. Evaluate yourself: were you serving before you joined? Andif you were, why were you serving? (to gain community service hours?). Now the things offeredare listed in Galatians 5:19-21, understand that the “good” is counted out because it is not done inthe name of Jesus nor for His glory) and the Bible says that ‘a little leaven leavens the wholelump, Galatians 5:9 (3) you encourage the hindrance or damage of their relationship with God orto keep it from growing deeper spiritually (through the rituals and through the ungodliness that isoffered). (Though I must acknowledge that I truly believe people when they say, usually thesorority members, that they have grown in God since being in their organization, but if Goddoesn’t allow you to continue growing how then will you hear, understand, and accept His callout. Your continuous growth is not His consent; we grow but we still fall short, but our growthdoes not mean that God doesn’t have a problem with sinful habits) (4) compromise (to feel as ifthey can participate in ungodliness and still be a Christian, especially as long as they tellthemselves and others that “as long as I put God first” and to think that because they still attendchurch then everything is fine and that, along with prayer, means that they are putting God first—refer to Matthew 7:21-23.).

Now, one might say “we are all responsible for our own actions” and may even try to usescripture “the Bible says work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (by the way, thatis manipulating the Word to either mean what you want it to mean, or to excuse other parts of the

83Bible). The Bible also implies that we are our brother/sister’s keeper through various scriptures,such as accountability, confessing faults one to another, exhortation, and correcting. Again, inresponse to the above prospective excuse/rejection of ministry “we are all responsible for our ownactions”, keep in mind, GOD is the one that says because of your provocation of His sons anddaughters, HE will spurn….. This goes for all and not just AKA. What is your response? Dothese things not happen? Are you sure?

“Phile, Boule, Schole” (Phi Beta Sigma, page 15)

There’s a lot of crazy “revelations” about this (these three words), although simple definitionsare in the dictionary, I am speaking more in terms of spiritual significance, if any. Therefore Ineed to go into more prayer to seek God’s Truth about it all. The things I have must beconfirmed. Please check back later.

AWAY FROM THE (Spiritual) RITUALS AND INTO THE

NATURAL……

POINTS TO CONSIDER

1) As stated in above sections, “I’d also like to note that this spiritual deception is not alwaysblatant on the part of the members. The Bible says “we wrestle not against flesh and blood butagainst spiritual wickedness….” (paraphrased from Ephesians 6:12) and that the devil uses theunsaved and the spiritually immature (who do not sincerely seek a real and strong relationshipwith God) to his advantage. So, when people walk in the desires of their flesh and not sacrificethose things to follow after the Holy Spirit (LUKE 9:23), they become of use to the devil becausethey drown out the voice of the Holy Spirit and strengthen their flesh because of the submissionto the flesh above the Spirit.” PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHILE RECEIVING THISMESSAGE, not to use as justification to join but in understanding that this is so because of asubmission to ‘contrary spirits’ through ungodly rituals.

2) The simplicity of how the devil is working in these organizations : Brief review; Luciferkicked out of heaven for pride and attempt to take God’s place, since then he has never ceased totry to steal God’s glory. In becoming a Christian one is now apart of a divine and spiritual family(Brother / Sisterhood), through Christ they can do all things; excel (Scholarship) in anything thatGod approves and is leading, and the very last thing Christ commanded before ascending intoheaven and the top priority of one after being discipled, is ministry; fulfilling the GreatCommission (Service). The outward concepts, written concepts of Greek lettered organizationsare not ungodly, they are stolen from God by Satan, by taking what God offers and merging itwith things that appeal to the flesh to entice God’s people. Greek lettered organizations are a

84cheap alternative to one of God’s gift to His people while on earth to edify us individually and asa Body through family, advancement, and ministry. I really hope you sawwww.divinetruthishere.com before 2007 to see more of the spiritual dangers that were ministeredby our Sister via the site listed.

3) There is a difference between an organization founded on Christian principles and an actual

Christian organization. When it comes to an organization being founded on Christian principles,these [principles] may be the same positives and morality that Christianity upholds, which canalso be noted in other religions as sharing the same morals but for a difference Source. Theseprinciples are such as; ‘do good, be healthy, don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t steal, be nice and a goodSamaritan,’ etc. A Christian organization, on the other hand, is not just based upon Christianprinciples but are led of the Spirit of God for the Glory of God; they may be an organizationdevoted to building the Family of God, ministering to saved and unsaved (on spiritual matters andnatural matters that affect spiritual growth and maturity), or other neglected areas of service, butit is for the purpose of being obedient to God not self-gratification. Sometimes an organizationnotes that they were ‘founded upon Christian principles’ to let Christians know that they areaccepted but there is no blatant statement that all things within the organization correspond toChristianity or the Bible and neither is it blatantly noted that the spiritual bonds include non-believers. Since this is the case (difference between the two foundations: “founded on Christianprinciples” vs. “founded on Christianity as a Christian organization”) then that common line “wewere founded upon Christian principles” has no validity in explaining why it’s okay for aChristian to join [these organizations]!

4) The “coincidental” similarities between Masonic organizations and Greek letter organizations,and also between each of these particular organizations rituals [found in the listed link]. (I intendto post the similarities to the website soon).

5) There aren’t any secrets (proof is given from ex-Greeks). See various pages above, particularlypages 69-71. Remember, there are only ceremonies that are only open to members such asmembership initiations, rededications, and memorial rituals for deceased members. Most otherinformation learned during the pledge process, if any, is actually found on the organization’swebsite and in books! These are things such as organization founding date, founders, the history(the coming together) of the organization, and history of the chapter, etc. of that nature. Ask anex-Greek! (I will pray and consider adding more ex-Greek accounts on the website concerningthis “no secrets” claim).

Side Note: From the account of an ex-Alpha (though not a Christian): “Before we go into hell,we're called APEs (Almost Pledged Entirely).” The term “Hell Week” denotes the finalweek of the pledge process. “This was before we were goin' into what is called "hell"where an initiate must go before crossing. Here is where anything goes.” (From the“there are no secrets” post. Not sure why I initially put this here but I’ll keep it in case I receivea reminder from the Holy Spirit).

6) Only what you do for Christ matters and will last! (1 Corinthians 15:58) There is a differencebetween good works and godly works and there lies a great significance when considering thesethings in relation to joining a covenant organization as a Christian. Your purpose for joining

Ephesians 5:11, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.”

John 12:46, “I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.”

86 Galatians 5:1, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”

Joshua 24:23, “Now therefore,” he said, “put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD God of Israel.”

And, as titled in my Bible: A Call To Repentance, Zephaniah 2:1-3

A PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

(Greek-Letter Organizations: Offspring of Abomination, page 101, given to Sister

Minister Gail Gray, former AKA, by the Holy Spirit)

Dear LORD, I need you more than ever now. I’ve been so wrong all this time, but didn’t know better. LORD I love You and I know You love me. Now LORD, forgive me, wash me again, and remember Your friend on today. I make You the only LORD of my life, and I submit myself to You completely. I renounce my fraternity / sorority membership and shan’t turn back again. Father, give me the strength to carry on without this pseudo- identity because it’s not really who You planned for me to be. Make me into the person that You intended for me to be. LORD, reveal Your ways to me, and restore me back to You. I believe that I am saved and forgiven right now and eternally. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen.

BENEDICTION From The Writer:

GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST! If this file has been a blessing to you and has led you tomake the RIGHTeous decision to serve God wholeheartedly, whether in making the decision notto join or to come out from the yoking of your secular, or rather worldly, affiliation and covenant,I encourage you to download the Letter of Denunciation and the “Walking In My Deliverance”Pamphlet, more-so for those of you who have chosen to de/renounce. All of this is absolutelyfree darling! I pray that after reading (and studying) this file that the Holy Spirit will convict youthat you will not find peace in your spirit as a Christian to comfortably partake of the rituals ofthe organization that you are/were in.

87“CHERIA, I’M NOT QUITE CONVINCED!” I’m sure there are some reading this file who arenot exactly in agreement with all things read. I’m not sure if that is based on the way you viewthe ritual quotes or if you have not really gotten or taken the chance to read the entire document.Whatever the case, I pray that as a Christian you will give an honest look at these heartfulstatements noted in the rituals of the organizations represented. Examine yourself, yourorganization, and the spirit(s) within. (Be silent and visually examine the atmosphere atceremonies and events). If you are not “convinced” by the responses believed to be led of theHoly Spirit, if these ritual quotes do not seem to be a “big deal” to you, this one thing I approachto you: do not merely look at one or a few quotes, but ignoring the responses under the quotes goback and RE-READ EVERY QUOTE ONLY, OF EVERY ORGANIZATION’S RITUAL andBE YE PRAYERFUL that God would show you HIS Truth, not mine nor yours. Amen.

THE PATH OF MY CALL: I was called into this ministry in late 2004 after finally acceptingtruth and I marked in my Bible almost anything that God gave me for this ministry with dates; Hegave me Jonah 1:1-9 late 2004, Jonah 1:10-2:10 early 2005, Jonah 3 May 3, 2005, Jeremiah1:4,5,7-10 and Matthew 10:26-28 (the last two I did not note in dates), and the latest one to getme to move on and not wait until I had all rituals just to do what He told me to do (complete thefile) 2 Corinthia ns 8:10-12 on October 23, 2005 – “10 And in this I give advice: It is to youradvantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; 11 but nowyou must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may bea completion out of what you have. 12 For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted accordingto what one has, and not according to what he does not have.” (NKJV) That's been mymotivation! Recognize the date on the first one (Jonah 1:1-9) in relation to 2 Corinthians 8:10-12 (one year, as the scripture says!), it “tripped” me out because I had been praying that Godwould help me and supply me with what I needed to do this and I began getting discouraged andthinking that maybe I missed something and messed around and missed God's timing and so itwas over—but God said it wasn't! (I was kind of hurt about that; having the thought of goingthrough life knowing that God told me to do something so deep and didn't do it , and I knew Iwould blame every bad thing in my life after not completing the assignment on the fact that Ididn't do it! But Praise God for His timing and that I still had time and chance).

Therefore, I ask that if any of you have rituals that may further assist me in this ministry, pleasebe a blessing. The earlier reason as to why I had slightly given up was because I knew peoplewho have rituals, two ministers, who knew what God had called me to do and even knew of myyahoo group, yet responded as if they were leary in supplying me with the necessary materials.Therefore, in an aspect I had given up by saying “well, I can’t do it until I have all of the rituals”(refer to 2 Corinthians 8:12!) but in heart I had not given up. If your organization’s rituals werenot studied and mentioned in this file but by reading the others you felt led to study your own andhave been convicted, please keep in mind and prayer concerning this file’s need for thefollowing rituals: Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Kappa Alpha PsiFraternity, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity. Please know that whileyou have come to the Truth, there are more brothers and sisters who refuse to accept this withoutan in-depth evaluation such as this file. If you suspect and feel in your spirit that you are apart ofan organization (non-NPHC) whose rituals conflict with the faith of Christianity do share yourtestimony and or ritual for studying and ministry. Of all the ways to minister to other people, rightnext to the Blood of the Lamb the Bible says “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamband by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” (Revelation12:11). I thank God for answering my concerns and confusion through 2 Corinthians 8:10-12 thatI may have peace in my spirit and be a blessing to His people and now I ask that you be a blessing

88to others through this very ministry. I thank you dearly in advance and may God bless youabundantly!

The Physical Aspect

The books below are not necessarily from a Christian perspective; therefore, do be aware of theuse of vulgar language. The purpose is to present to you the reality and truth of what goes onduring the pledge process and the realities of hazing. These books present the un-sugar-coatedtruth; everything in life is not pure and holy and that is what Christians need to know, so yes, Iam recommending a book that has content of vulgar language—real life presentation (to the pointwhere you will see how bad it truly is). Evaluate and judge yourself whether you should (can)read it or not and also whether it is necessary at this point (have you already received conviction?Book therefore not necessary….keep it real). God bless.
